Question about the rear diff. on my 91, i had two tires all the time. i left twin black marks where ever i went in that car. i've seteled down a bit, but still like sliding those corners every once and a while. in my 93, i only have two marks when in smoking them in a straight line. if i turn just a little bit, its gone. i cant even get a doughnut going!! my outside tire just boils and nothing hapends to my inside? just had the diff fluid changed, i asked them to take a look at it, see if they notice anything obviously wrong, they said no. any ideas?

The Viscous Limited Slip module can wear and fail in differential. It is common after 100k and in snow areas where car gets stuck and abused.
