Looking for someone who really knows about Limited Slip Diff .
I have more wear on my Back Right tire , and it is not due to PSI, or Alignement.
I wondering excactly how the LSD works ,and maybe could be the cause of Back Right tire wear?
I have a G35S Sedan .

You don't need to be an expert to know how they work. Here's the important part: if you have more than 50-60k miles on the car, you no longer have limited slip, you have an open differential. LLLOOOOTTTSSS of cars have open differentials and don't have that kind of weird tire wear. Plus its not even that bad.

So on "normal" accleration are the Friction Plates in the LSD being solicitated, or are they only used in Hard accelerations when some slip occurs ??Originally Posted by Gdirtyfive55

How are you guaging that?Originally Posted by Dr.Bora
mine has 176k and the diff still functions as it should...
If the VSLD isno longer functioning , could it just need New Diff Oil ??,, or can it actually Wear?

The friction plates naturally wear. IF you oil is BLACK, that's friction material in the oil.

So even if it's just the oil causing the friction , ..not actual plate on plate contact, they can still wear ?Originally Posted by Texasscout

it's the "plate to plate" contact that works the magic of the LSD. You have got to have it or you have a standard diff. Once the plates wear off the friction material, they start to slip. Really doesn't affect the day to day driving, just when you push it hard out of a tight corner.
....There is no Plate to Plate contact in a VLSD??
Its the Oil that causes the friction . That's what the V stands for, Viscous
