Help with diff please..... - Drifting forum

toyota LSD, draws a big number 11 up the road, draws even bigger ones out of junctions, but when i attempted a donut it would kinda struggle, seeming to swap drive to one wheel then t'other.

NB: the donut was attempted on rough shitty tarmac that could have been different under either wheel.

Is it worn - if so why is it being highlighted in this way and not through not even being able to do a number eleven? In a straight line it will draw an 11 for a good 100feet, same outta junctions.

what can be done to sort this?

sensible answers only pls!

doubt its worn out mate, they ususally have quite a good lifespan and prev owner prob wouldnt have worn it by skidding. maybe the rough ground plus hard rear shocks made gripping a bit skippy so wotever wheel had the most grip at the time made it feel a bit sporadic. Try it on a better bit of tarmac. What was the handling like? body roll and understeery or flat and direct?
