I just had 3.73s put in and replaced all the bearings in my rear end... I know I should have had my limited slip rebuilt, but I didnt have extra money to throw down. Now, when I try to gas it put it sideways a lil bit, only the inside wheel spins! Doesnt matter which way I turn, meaning its not only the right rear everytime... I took a buddy for a ride a couple weeks ago, and the car managed a nice posi burnout to show off a little, but now Ive got nothin'. Whats a guy to do without limited slip?... My car has 65,000 on it so I guess I didnt think it would be an issue when it came time to put the gears in. This sucks. Just had to express my frustration.

haha I feel ya. I did the same thing but DID get the posi rebuilt with extra clutches - only thing is I didn't upgrade to stronger axles/posi when I had the opportunity.

Drag radials plus a automatic tranny setup that launches my heavy very really well means I have a slightly bent axle on the passenger side.

Ironically it didn't get bent at the track but rather on the street.

Hindsight is 20/20 isn't it...

Well I dont want to be the guy to say it, but its better to wait and do it once then to break it down and do it again. That should be said about every mod you do. Do it right once.

Well, the bearings in my rear end were howling for some reason... The rear pinion seal wasnt leaking, and the blow valve didnt have residue around it like I had lost fluid, so Im not sure why my bearings were dry, but I had to replace them. I didnt have money to go all out, but I had to get those bearings done. I barely had the cash to get the gears.
