Default LSD not working

not really sure about this, apparently my LSD is not working because both wheels should spin when one is spun,
how would i go about fixing this, replacing or rebuilding? or is my car meant to only let one wheel spin at the same time.
can someone please help and give me some advice?

Thanks

Try spinning a wheel with the shifter in gear. If your LSD wasn't working, your car wouldn't be driveable

Are you saying you have it up in the air spinning one wheel and only one wheel is spinning? If that's the case, it would only spin one wheel. LS, means limited slip, its not a welded diff.. so one tire will spin while the other doesn't because it requires more force.

Sounds like you got ripped off. Good way to verify is watch alice in wonderland and see if you enjoy it. Hope everything works out

Those who don't understand how a car works should probably avoid trying to figure out if something is wrong with it. On the other hand, repair shops just love people like this. Gotta bring the economy back.

I don't know how cars work. I joined the forum to be able to ask stupid questions and get a not stupid reply. If I ask the same stupid question over and over then maybe a little flame would be in order.

Destino with Opeth's 'I Feel the Dark'

The WoO/DSotM thing does have some interesting moments of synchronicity, but this is nearly constant in its aptness. I could write a script which details how well these two pieces of art (the visual already being an interesting combination) combine - in a word: amazing! Don't take my word for it; click... (It also has the benefit of being short. )

What I find funny is that you already posted this exact same question a week ago in this section, and it got moved to Under The Hood, so you posted it again here.
Want to guess what's gonna happen?
