Rear Diff Locks

[yukiz]

Hi guys, i just have few questions,

last year i picked up 95 talon AWD for a dirt cheap from an old guy who knows nothing about modding car, except keeping thick maintenance records.
I have never drive the car since i got it. and last month, i just finished stock rebuild top to bottom. but when i drive it, here go problems....
The problem is with the rear diff. it seems to lock itself. It feels like driving welded rear diff. When it turn left, rear left drift itself. and when i jacked up the car, and turn the drive shaft, only 3 tires spins on the same direction, the driver front did not spin at all. is it normal? Straight line driving is fine, It just annoys me when turning, a lot of tire scratch...

What cause this?
bad LSD rear diff?
Bad T case?
how do i test the diff?
Improper clutch engagement?

i appreciate any input,

Thanks.

The driver side wheel didn't turn with the others because the front diff is an open diff.

Check the presence of the washer with the nut that secures the axle to the hub. If the axle nut is installed w/o that thick washer You will feel a very stiff side, and no movement from that wheel when you attempt to spin the actual drive shaft.

Also check the lock rings of your rear cv axles, if they broke off, your axle might be "popping out" and you will get all kinds of problems too because its not engaging properly.

I will check those washers. And one more thing, when i turn the driveshaft, there is 1-2 inch slack before the tire starts to spin. Is this normal?

so i checked the washers, both sides are present,

another question, is there any way to check the T-Case?

How much play for t case before it start to spin the wheels?
