Guest baccaruda Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Which will wear faster, my front or rear tires? if I have an LSD in the back. I'm thinking rears as they are stressed more by turning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ Hill Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Hi Andy, Your front would still wear out fastest. The LSD wont make any diff (no pun intended). The LSD carrier doesn't really do anything too special until the right wheel begins to slip. Then it bleeds power to the left wheel until the right wheel gets traction again. Unless the right wheel is slipping it acts the same as a non-LSD rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Konrad Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 front will wear more because of the engine in front, and steering, Russ is right, the LSD will lock only if the other wheel is spinning, so on asphalt its hard to make (in 4WD) them spin,... its possible( ),...... in off-roading the tires are slipping and it dont make too much damage to the tires because mud or grass isn't so hard,...... konrad 1989 DL Wagon 5spd D/R with LSD 1984 GL Sedan RWD 1982 DL Sedan 4WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest McBrat Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 the clutch type LSD's from the RX's and '89 GL-10 Turbos (3.700) are "locked" until they slip at about 45 lbs of pressure. that's why when you jack the rear end up, both wheels spin the same direction... the Viscous LSD from the 91-93 turbo legacys, and newer soobs, is open to start with, but when one side spins, as the spinning gets faster, it starts to drag the other side with it.... auto.howstuffworks.com/differential6.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
