240 SX REAR END QUESTION

[08versaman]

I JUST GOT A 1993 240 SX. WITH A SR 20 BLACK TOP IN IT... THE GUY I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM SAID IT HAS A LSD IN IT EVERY TIME I TURN A CORNER IT POPS REALLY LOUD IN THE REAR.... AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT BUT THE STEERING WHEEL DOESNT MOVE ITS THE CAR... ANY IDEAS GUYS

Well, did he say what kind of LSD? 2 ways usually click when you make slow turns. Can you elaborate on "loud". Everyone have a different definition when it comes to "loud". If the car pulls to the left, do you mean your car is "Fish Tailing"? If it is, then yes, you have a LSD, then again, it could also just be a welded diff and he consider it a "LSD". Fish tailing is when your rear end loses traction because both wheels are turning faster then the car is moving causing your rear end to sway to one side or if you counter steer, it'll sway the other way hence the term "Fish Tailing". The reason why a car without a LSD does not fish tail is because only one wheel is spinning faster then the car and the other side is sill keeping the car stable along with the two front tires.

i know what fish tailing is... and the noise is really loud and the car pulls to the left but not spinning the tires like doing 55 in 5th if i just go to speed up it pulls to the one side then pulls back when i get off the gas it does that when i down shift too.... and i sounds like a loud pop sound when i turn...

If the car is changing direction with acceleration, I would take a close look at all your subframe mounts. Sounds like the whole subframe is shifting under load.
