What do you mean your tire is spinning when exiting corners?

I am guessing you have a non lsd diff and probably want to upgrade to VLSD or true LSD like quaife or cusco

1) too much powwaa
2) sh!tty tires
3) sh!tty alignment
4) driver mod needed
5) or any combination of the above

Are you saying you have an open diff? I guarantee you can give it as much throttle as you want in a turn and nothing will happen.

To add to the list, also can be blown shocks and bad bushings.

I'd say it's a bad dif bushing.

Wouldn't this keep it from spinning? The spider gear of a non-LSD is made to keep from losing traction by spinning the wheels at different rates due to one being a slave.

^An open diff will allow one wheel to spin and the other will do nothing.

In a straight line, yes, but as I understand it, in a turn the inside wheel spins slower so that the tire with less weight on it (less traction-inside) doesn't spin from excessive inertia.

Open diff sends power to faster spinning wheel. So under normal cornering, this is correct. Allows the inside wheel to spin slower and not slip. But once you break a tire loose, usually inside because of weight shift, then that tire will spin faster since its slipping, then it will get all the power, so then all the power goes to slipping wheel

Guess I don't understand how the less powerful wheel would slip in the first place; It gets so little power. I remember my burnouts from junk cars...one tire mark the whole 6ft. Ha..

Don't go throwing parts at it (like differential bushings) that would be a good way to frustrate yourself and empty your pockets faster than a gold digger.

Came in here for advice to calm the rear tires during cornering.

I got a bunch of abuse by people that know nothing about me and little about my car.

It really isn't safe right now the way it is to hammer the throttle in a corner.

I haven't had this car very long and I do not know much about it. I do like it and I want to get it hooked up...I need a girl too but that's another kind of site.

I have a bit of experience with cars and know what it should be like, Obviously, I do not have a LSD. THAT is why I came here to see what I can do to get on with this.

It is not broken as the car runs great. It just doesn't hook up traction and go correctly.

Intending to go autocross with it soon and it isn't going to work out the way it is now.

Can we get some experienced advice please?

Thanks
