so super noob question haha i have no Lsd and i've owned the car now for a year and a couple months but never have i really wondered until today...which wheel is pulling me forward lol the left or the right...no one to really tell me which one ..im thinking its the left but no idea haha

 

both wheels pull you forward. the only time it both dont turn is when one side of the car gets unloaded (the corner of the car lifts up) and all the power will transfer to the slipping tire.

 

Uhm Hmmm
Idk..i Think It's The Left Too

 

its the right side tire...lauch the car and see which tire is gonna leave a mark or on which side its gonna pull to..i had no lsd on mine,and it pulled to the right,no i have lsd and it pulls straight

 

the open diff will transfer power to the tire with the least amount of traction...

 

I've done a few hard launches and have paid particular attention to how my tires wear over the last 15k miles. I can say that the pass wheel definatly sees the majority of spin/hop. In my experience cobalts without LSD will get significant tq steer to the right.

 

^yes, but that's because of unequal length half shafts, both wheels still pull you though.

 

i was about to say this. transmission is on the drivers side, therefore the passenger side shaft is longer

 

both unless you lose traction.

 

so if u plant it from a dig, does only one tire spin like a maniac or both? i was assuming that if i did the previous, only the left tire would be burning out and the other one just sitting there... i really dont understand this lol

 

Both wheels spin however, the one with the least amount of resistance will spin easier. At least that is how I understand it. Like if you are stuck in the mud, one tire spins the other does nothing.
