Default what causes 1 wheel burnouts?

I noticed this morning that my car is only spinning 1 wheel, the passengers side when I do a burnout. The car usually does both wheels. I am not sure what causes this? Do I need to replace my factory rear end now? I don't get any noise or anything.

you got 2.73's? You might find this opportune time to get an TAKE OFF slp zexel torsen ($99) and swap gears to 3.42 or better.

I think the crappy z28 stock rear ends were some sort of clutch type that wore out? and the zexel was an upgrade that just breaks (cant really wear out)

is your rearend leaking? check your fluid level. if it gets low it can cause the limited slip to act up. atleast thats what ive been told. hope thats your solves your problem.

Stock Torsen only splits torque 2:1, if difference
between sliding and static friction is more than
that (and it can easily be) you will never spin the
second wheel, you only get 3X spinning tire thrust.
