Problems with rearend So I got this car with about 75k miles and I had trouble with it being a "one wheel wonder" pretty much from day 1. So I took out the LSD and bought one of those Auburn gov locking differentials off of ebay and stuck it in. It worked a little better, but lately its been staying locked in posi. Like when i'm making turns even at slow speeds like in parking lots and stuff, I can tell its locked in and puts alot of strain on the rest of the drive train. I was wondering if anyone knew what might be causing this. I still have the old LSD, so is there any way of rebuilding that, or am I better off just getting another diff to put in? Thank you
The 10 bolts typically don't last very long behind a six speed. I'd leave it just the way it is for now, until the rear breaks. What you now have is basically a spool, meaning both axles are locked together. I don't necessarily mean the rear will break due to the axles being locked together. These weak 10 bolt can and do break practically every single part of the assembly, they were originally designed for the S10 and Monza. Bob

I would just let it go, but the thing is, which i forgot to say in the first post is that it doesnt stay locked in all the time like a spool. It has just been getting worse, and I only really notice it at slow speeds like I said above. Actually when I really want it to be posi, when I try burning out or something, a lot of times its not. Thats why I would like to do something about it.
