I put my car through a couple runs recently, and I noticed the rubber bits on the wheelwells. There was loads of the **** in the right wheelwell. But then I looked at the left side, and there's nothing there! Just dirt, and nothing else! What would cause this, and why?

I have my own theory, but I'd like to get some other opinions as well. TIA.

lack of a working posi?

Usually means one-wheel-peel.

Next time you do a burnout, have a friend watch to make sure both tires are spinning.

If you have the stock Torsen, that is one draw back from it ... it decides when it will function as a true posi. We recently switch to an Auburn Pro Posi on our 2001 Camaro SS, after breaking 4 Torsen units, now both light up always!

That's what I was expecting. Thanks for the feedback. Just to add more info, it's a stock Zexel Torsen unit. Flame Throwing SS, are these Torsens known to be erratic when it comes to locking/limiting slip? Also, is there a surefire way to determine whether it's completely broken or just operating as expected? If they're broken, will the car run at all, or does it just become an open diff like a badly worn Auburn unit? Thanks.

That's exactly the experience I has with a Torsen. Good road race diff, but not for drag racing. It was not in my car very long. As soon as I discovered it liked to do the one-wheel peel, I ditched it in favor of an Eaton.
