LSD problem

I just installed a NA LSD in my 86. I can doughnut to the left perfect but if I crank the wheel right and drop the clutch the car feels like only one tire is spining. It just wont break loose. Is it possible for the LSD to only affect one wheel if its wearing out.

The whole purpose of a LSD is to keep traction on at least one wheel.

Why is everyone trying to break loose the wheels???

anyway, yes the LSD could be wearing out or you could have a worn shock or spring, or bad rear bushings, or bad rear suspension, or unbalanced wheels, or unbalanced hatch area.

Actually Im trying to learn to drift. I still dont understand why it would doughnut to the left but not the right. Wouldnt the LSD either work or not. All 4 shocks were swaped out of my 90TII, good shape. Springs are new coilovers. Bushings are old and crappy. Wheels are unbalanced but also bald *** hell. Car is completely empty. What other options do I have. I just got this LSD. Im sure as hell not gonna go out and buy another one, hoping that one has low miles. Are rebulds expensive? Are parts hard to get.

see if you can find a full spool for it?
might make daily driving tough and tires won't last
as long but it will not slip


do they even make a full or mini-spool kit
for RX-7's?
