Smokin'

Is this something that I should be worried about.

When setting off from a T junction at speed I am getting smoking for a split second from one of the rear tyres.

I could understand it if it was when I set off but it seems to be when I grab second and only on the rear wheel opposite the direction of turn.

I have a standard escort rear axle and diff, is it something to do with not having a LSD.

Cheers

Ian

simple maths..........

lead right foot - LSD = one smokey tyre

lead right foot + LSD = two smokey tyres

Don't worry. If I'm gunning it going from 2 to 3 a can get a chirp out of the tyres. Going from 1 to 2 just results in huge wheel spin.

Cheers Ray,

I was pretty sure it was OK but better to check than trash the diff at the drag racing when I should have seen it coming.
