Limited Slip Differential - FF Cars.

This info was compiled by member oosacker.

Initial determines how quickly the lock comes in when power is applied to the axles. If a car with front wheel-drive under-steers while accelerating out of a low-speed turn, decrease the front setting. Too high a setting in the rear diff is noticeable by over-steer when accelerating out of a low-speed turn.

Acceleration determines the balance of axle lock when power is applied. Too high a setting on the rear will induce over steer exiting high-speed corners. Too high on the front will induce understeer exiting the same corners.

Deceleration adjustment will ensure both drive-axles resist rotation equally. It is most effective in controlling high torque, rear wheel drive cars when entering a tight corner from high speed.


LSD can be difficult to set up. So I will help.
This is for Front wheel drive cars only.

this is good info but on most FF cars a 1.5 LSD will do just fine.

actually a 1.5 does good but not great........personal adjustments are usually better if you know what your doing....great info ...on using the 1.5 lsd .......and good info by oosacker.....
