Default So I thought these cars had Posi?

So the other day, I was making a right hand turn onto a hill. I got on it and "broke em loose". Well when I got out of it I looked in the rear view mirror to find that I preformed a One Tire Fire the whole way up this hill. So whats the deal? Was it because there would be more weight on the left wheel from making a right hand turn up a hill? Is it time to start saving for a new rear end?

That doesn't mean you automatically need a rear end. I have seen perfectly working posi units do a one wheel peel when coming out of a corner or if one tire really gets loose bad - the clutches for some reason can't or won't engage.

The clutches may be not engaging correctly or just slipping.

Well I did some burnouts this morning and They were looking good. I guess it was because I had so little traction on one side and so much on the other that it did a one wheel peel before.
