Default 10 bolt on its way out?

Went to the track a few weeks ago and only made 4 passes with about 20 total throughout its life. Didn't get any cray wheel hop or anything to make me think I screwed it up. Now on the 1st to 2nd shift the driver side tire spins hard and the passenger doesn't from what i can tell. The car even goes to the right for a moment. It's a '99 with 3.23's w/ 67k. Never had a rear end fluid change maybe that would help some?? The rear end also clunks when turning but i had always believed that to be from the LCA's. Any thoughts?

I think your lsd is shot. Do a small burn out see both tire spin. if one tire spin , your lsd is shot. when you say rear end clunk when making a turn ? do a figure " 8 " see what happent, but I beleive your LSD is shot.

What Killagt said, have a pair of friends stand beside the car on both sides when you do this... btw, the 10-bolt was on its way out when it rolled off the assembly line It's literally a matter of time w/them.

The "one wheel peel" is a good indicator that the unit isn't functioning properly anymore.

Sounds like its on its way out. If you plan on getting rid of it in the near future let me know I'm looking for a ten bolt housing.

alright, i will test that out a little later on in the day. The rear end clunking is bad when taking turns from 15-30ish mph. It is a constant rapid clunk like every time the axle turns but i never noticed it until i did my LCA's. Would LCA's have no effect?
