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.
