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? |

It was my passenger side tire was the one with all the power in my old Celica, except when traction was an issue or when I turned. My open diff acted exactly as you are saying it should. My passenger side tire would always go bald quicker than my driver's side because it pulled more often than the driver's side. The power always took the path of least resistance. I don't necessarily think that it's something wrong with your car if all the power is going to the driver's side wheel, but your passenger side wheel should pull from time to time.
