ANOTHER problem w/ my new Celi, only one wheel gets power Options

[Mycurse180]

Been driving it in the snow now and I notice every time I get home there's only snow build up behind the drivers side tire, NEVER behind the pass side.

So today it was raining and I did a couple little burnouts from stop signs and it's ALWAYS the driver side spinning.
I took a tight right turn and made it spin [which should ALWAYS engage the pass side] yet the drivers side was the one spinning.

It is NEVER getting power. I'm not hearing any clicking like a bad axle would.

What could be the culprit and what should I check out?

I thought I'd add to the tomfoolery with a simple statement.

I like ponies.

I still don't think this is settled...I'm 100% sure the pass side should spin on occassion...Otherwise I'll just have a bald driver side tire.

when your going straight. both wheels have the same amount of torque applied which means both wheels are locked in the cage. when youre turning the pinions in the cage start to turn. the inside tire spins slower while the outside spins faster. You make a right turn, the left tire will rotate more due to it having a further distance to travel and the right side less do to the shorter travel distance. either wheel will spin when the other has exceeded the threshold of traction available, it all depends on the conditions, such as how heavy the vehicle is, how much drag, how much friction there is, gradient of the road, the vehicle's momentum , weather and what ever else. your diff seems to be working fine

When I have the wheels straight I still only get power to the drivers side.
Tomorrow I will make a sharp turn to the left and make it spin. You're telling me that if I do this the pass tire will spin, correct?

when you have the wheels straight and are doing burnouts the driverside wheel will spin and the passenger side wont. when your driving normal they will both spin and be distributed the same amount of torque. If your driving normal and straight and one wheel seems to feel like it has more traction than the other, it could possibly be a wheel bearing

thats not a hard rule tho.

i have vids of my car, when i had the 5sfte, leaving an "LSD" style burnout iwth the S54..i've been in others where it never happens.

alot of diffrent factors come into play, fluid, wear, suspension, tires, all play a part.
