- Why would a limited slip diff be so bad on the street? Many RWD cars have it standard here and I usually install than in every car I have unless the car came with this option from the factory. For ex

- As I understand it the geometry of the ring and pinion has to be quite accurate and each ring/pinion/carrier is slightly different. Iven if you just change the bearings on the pinion you generally n

- There were two different LSD units made. One works with the 3.70, 3.89, 4.11, 4.88, etc. The other is for the 4.38, 4.63 and 5.13. The latter use an 8-tooth pinion, which is smaller in diameter than
