saturday night, going home from work i noticed i had to struggle to keep my car to go straight. i didn't think nothing and drove home but i constantly had to fight to keep the car going straight. i've done no changes to the car, suspension or anything, and its been fine every other day but the problem wont go away now so i decided i can get some help here.

I noticed when i accellerate, it pulls to the left and when i decellerate, it pulls to the right. and i can feel all this comming from the back. almost feels like a hicas gone wrong but it's a S14 and i dont have hicas.

I do have a cusco 2way lsd. maybe that has something to do with it? what happens when LSD clutches wear? anyone else have this problem or know what i can do? please give me your 2cents. thanks in advance.

no, i checked my alignment, its fine and been fine. reading other peoples posts, it looks like the clutch discs might be worn? is this a common issue with worn clutches on clutch type LSD's?

it was the simplest of solutions.

i had a nail in my rear left tire but it's weird cause it looked fine but had only 12psi.

would have checked first but it really looked fine and i drove over 40 miles on it. weird.

thanks anyways NICO

Lol I was just going to say my car used to do EXACTLY what you described when I had a low right rear tire. But you figured that out on your own.
