I'm not sure where this should go, my rear left tire is bald, my rear right has got as much tread as my front ones. Is this related to the right side suspension sag were all aquainted with? Thanks.

Your posi clutch pack is prolly fried.
When your "on it" it is only spinning one wheel, L/R.
You can get a whole new carrier from SLP for cheap, or maybe just go 12 bolt.

Is the carrier all I need to take to the shop?

IF the car is a 2000, it has a TOrsen differential. The was a torsen operates, it allows some wheel spin and will still eat right rear tires. I just changed my tires and the right rear was the worst. It is a function of the posi design. You can change to a clutch type or cone type (eaton or auburn) or get used to it. Or the T2R will cure it as well....

P.S. A torsen has no clutches....and they don't wear out. THey are gear type and if it is not broken (you'd know if it was) then they are working as designed.

It's my right left that's toast. I've go treeible sag, and I figured that the difference in angle my car set at was muching with my traction. These tires kave 7 k or so, they're yokohamas.

THe sag may not be helping, but it is not totally responsible. A torsen takes power from the spinning wheel (the one with less traction) and uses gears to transfer some of it to the other wheel. You will still get wheelspin. If you go launch easy (not that easy) it will spin the right rear, it is the design of the diff. That is why those of us who autocross want a Torsen T2R, it is a cross between an eaton and a torsen. It has clutches and the gear system inside.

It's jsut so bad that I always slide out right a bit, from the difference in traction, but I guess I'll jsut change both tires, and see how long they hold up. THe thing is I don't really burn my tires much...
