Burnout Question

**LS177** · 04-27-2007, 08:30 PM

Hey can anyone tell me why when I power brake my car, to do a burn out only one of my rear wheels spins. Is something wrong with my rear diff?

**Anthracis** · 04-27-2007, 08:44 PM

Yeah, you have an open differential...not a locker! Both wheels spin only if you have a posi unit or are a magician and have some special shit we haven't heard of...lol

BTW, Welcome to the forums.

whaT? so ur sayin, some camaros came with posi and some didnt?

**rajiv1998** · 04-28-2007, 07:19 AM

yup, mine has it. I think its an option but dont hold me to it

**bluefields88** · 04-28-2007, 11:23 AM

I have posi on my RPO codes, so I think it was an option?

**blackhawk01** · 04-28-2007, 11:35 AM

LS1 77 check on your drivers side door for the RPO codes see if one of your codes are G80 if you dont have this code then you have standard diff

The SS camaros came with 3.23 and Torsen POSI. That's what mine has. Its still weak as shit. I just bought a bolt-in ford 9" I will be installing in the next three weeks or so.

**Ryanater** · 04-28-2007, 09:31 PM

So a positraction rearend is an option? I though it was standard with all ls1 cars. I know my 6cyl didn't have it but my ws6 sure does.

Wow, I would have been so disapointed if my car didn't have a posi. I didn't even check before I bought it.

**oneBADDz** · 04-28-2007, 09:33 PM

If you have an LS1 you have it, period. It's not an option

**slims00ls1z28** · 04-28-2007, 09:35 PM

An LS1 car without a standard posi? Don't make sense. I don't trust the option thing, my window sticker said the bucket seats and center console under the "options" I always laughed at that. "err no thanks I'll take a column shift and bench seat please."

Hell yes!

**ss~zoso~ss** · 04-29-2007, 02:03 PM

sounds like your rear end may be broken

**SS#1531** · 04-29-2007, 02:15 PM

'98 cars came with a clutch type diff, not the Torsen unit. Your diff is probably worn out. My advise would be to replace it with a Torsen diff like I did. I bought one from SLP for $99, but I'm not sure if they still sell them or not.

No way is it an open diff!
