[QUOTE="Zeroed, post: 1121021, member: 98"] It does work that way as far as I know. A differential is there for both tyres to propel independantly depending on steering angle, but when power overcomes one tyre's grip the differential may transfer too much power to the slipping tyre. A limited slip differential would stop that from happening depending on the locking degree... I think. Its a differential which doesnt allow too much difference between both tyre speeds. The grip level of the tyres normally overcomes the LSD's effect, but this transfers the forces towards the steering which makes it straighten itself (or 'fightback', hence a stiffer steering). But wheelspin is a different story, LSDs should still be strong enough to limit wheelspin to a certain degree depending on its locking strength when one of the wheels loses its grip marginally. In that sense having too strong a LSD would make cornering worse (and steering a bitch), but very effective for straight line drags. I've observed this case on a FR machine running in tight circles at slow speeds,which on rough sand and rock grounds with very little grip had its inside rear tyre spinning slightly faster than it should be, trying to catch up with the outer tyre which was the one gripping the ground. Both tyres should have gripped the ground normally, but apparantly the LSD's strength was enough to overcome the inner tyre's weak grip on the sand and sped it up to the outer tyre's speed. Sifus correct me if im wrong. :) [/QUOTE]
