Sometimes it's the left wheel, sometimes it's the right wheel...

Finished my line lock installation yesterday, got out and tested it on a deserted road.

Everything was working fine except that when I got out of the car to look at the rubber I had layed down, I noticed that there was only one tire mark (right side).

I decided to try it again to see if something was wrong and guess what, I left another single mark but with the tire on the other side (driver side)

Did another test and again left one mark but with the right side tire.

What is going on ?

I was planning on going to the track this weekend with my new ET drag.

Almost sounds like the clutch pack in the rear-end isn't doing it's job.

yeah, sounds like the trac-loc is going out.

ahh yes the one wheel peel, its a sad thing thats fallen upon both of my stangs get that trak lock rebuild, while you're at it (if u have the money) get some 4.10's in there

Is it safe to drag race even with the trac loc going out or should I have it rebuild ?

It's safe to race, you'll just look like an idiot doing a big 1 wheel burnout with those et streets. . Also, you probably won't get the traction off the line that you would get if your trac loc was in good shape. I'm having the same problem. You're best off getting an Eaton posi unit. Well worth the money.

Looking like an idiot is what I do best

Budget is starting to melt... wife's gonna be happy

Like my dad would say:
'It's easy to build a street car but it takes a sh$tload of money to build a race car'
I feel like once you go over the fence, it's one-way down.
(sorry i'm having a bad week and it's only tuesday)

And btw they are ET Drag not ET Streets !

How much is the Eaton ? Or should I just switch to 4.10 and have it rebuild.
