Was my last post in chinees???
sorry
No! of course they wont if you dont have an lsd the the torque (turning force) will just transfer through the easiest path that is what a differential on cars are for. Every car has one. Jeez google could have explained that, its basic car fundimendals
(sorry bad day with lost of dumb questions)

Chill mate!
Reminds me of Cliosport.
Yea, one wheel is spinning due to your distributor being mis-alligned with the
crank housing.

Wrong !
LSD ( in your situation) makes both wheels spin at the same time , non lsd make 1 wheel spin more
correct me if im wrong !

Aye, exactly. It never used to be like this on here. No stupid questions/no dunces/no morons etc.
if you was to hold the other side on the standard diff you could still spin the other side and the side your holding will just stay still
i odnt have a lsd on my car its just a normal diff
im guessing both lsd and std will allow your wheels to spin at different speeds but they transffer the power differently. ie lsd it transfers to the wheel with most grip and the normal diff just trnasfers the power the one with less traction.
when you say that the lsd will make your wheels spin the same your saying that when your turning the innner wheel will turn the same speed as your outter wheel, when the outer wheel needs to be travailing quicker than the inner wheel

No need to be so hard on the OP, the majority of people do not grasp how differentials work.
OEM LSDs do not make your wheels spin at the same rate. The standard EK9 diffs are helical 'torque biasing' diffs, they can transfer a set ratio of torque from one wheel to the other say 5:1, so the wheel with grip gets 5x the torque of the one with less grip. This only works if both wheels have grip though, with zero traction on one wheel the diff goes open as 5x0 = 0 and all the torque goes to the tractionless wheel. These diffs never lock.
The locking diffs ('proper' LSDs) are clutch pack and do actually lock the two wheels together at a preset amount of slip.

What effect does the flux capacitor have on the clutch pack LSD?
