All I have looked for was the one wheel peel but I believe there are more symptoms than that. I have 108k miles on my car and it still lays two black streaks, however, it acts wierd in turns. It spins the inside wheel - what's up?

Thanks,
Gabe

the inside wheel is spining cause the suspension is loaded on the outside wheel and pretty much unloaded on the inside when u go around corners. very much more noticable with a high mileage or worn suspension.if your still rippen a 2 wheel shot dont be to worried.

The inside wheel is spinning because thats how the limited slip is designed. It keeps the wheels from hopping in turns. Have you ever heard/seen a car with a spool? The wheel will hop and churp alot in a tight radiused turn. With the LSD it is made to slip the clutchpacks inside the diff. dont worry about it unless you notice a hard pull when accelerating from a stop or one tire fire!

Try changing the fluid in the rear end... My car was doing that and it was very ratchety (i guess).... changed out the fluid and now it is smooth as can be.. and still laying down two stripes every time....
