[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 2242561, member: 27518"] Lots of people have different opinion of LSD.. For me, it manages torque to the left and right side of the driven wheels. It does this by allowing torque to go to the wheel with more load, by gears/clutches etc. It's a compromise of a spool, which give 50/50 split on each side, but a spool won't allow your car to turn normally. Different mechanism offers different torque splits to each side, but never as good as a spool. Just say if your car is moving/accelerating. A spool, if you lift up one tire in the air, the tire on the ground gets 100% power (since the one in the air has zero friction/grip.) An LSD, if you lift up one tire in the air, the tire on the ground get's more torque, but not 100%, as some torque will be wasted on the wheel that's in the air. (now you know why I said 'compromise'. Sounds complex, but in reality, it just manages the torque split to each side of the driveshaft (Torque steer can still happen, but that will be due to external factors.) So during launching, your car is LESS LIKELY to pull to one side during high torque, high RPM launch. But as with all FWD cars.. our driveshafts are not equal length, so expect a slight pull to one side, usually to the left, where the shaft is longer (driveshaft + intermediate shaft) But then comes the question.. how many FWD cars you know that generate enough HP to still pull to one side with a ratchet type full lock LSD? :P [/QUOTE]
