Default posi out?

so i did a doughnut the other night and only got one tire line... so is my posi out? what can i do about that w/o a lot of cash. i checked the tires and there is a little unevan wear between the tires. am i screwed? also on launch i get a weird sound from the rear. i thought it was the tires breaking or losing grip but is it the posi slipping? thx

what yr car? more then likely one wheel peel means the posi aint working right at all. So far my car has never left only one line. Take off hard enough to leave black marks in a straight line then go back and look at the tracks.

if the left and right tire marks are equal copies of each other then the posi is fine and doing its job.

Change the pumpkin oil, when i bought my car it only left one wheel mark (Torsen). I changed the oil to Mobil 1 and have not had any problems to date getting two marks. I didn't believe the person telling me the oil change would fix it....but it did, can't hurt to try.
