cheap way to lsd?
i was skipping around on the racing beat website, and came across the differential side bearing, according to the racing beat website:
"Differential Side Bearing
1971-92 Non-turbo (2 req.)
Changing from the standard differential to the limited slip differential is a fairly easy job. This modification requires only a few special tools (consult the factory shop manual) and two (2) new bearings. Actually, the bearings from the stock differential could be used except that pulling them off is difficult and frequently causes damage. It is usually easier to simply press a new set on the limited slip. "
and at only $36 a peice, could this be an easy way for people without LSD to get it? please let me know.

Locked diff, not locking.
Mark is referring to welding the rear end so that both axles turn, no matter what. As you turn a corner, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside. If both wheels are forced to drive at the same speed (using a welded diff), the inside wheel has to skid to turn the corner. Very hard on the drive train, hard on tires.
Plus, with a welded diff, you pretty much have to be on the power the entire way through the corner. The car simply won't turn if you aren't on the power (something has to force the inside wheel to slip to turn the car). The delicate power corrections you need to make trying to corner in the rain means you're pretty screwed with a welded diff, since you CAN'T get out of the gas.
