ok gang this discussion is going nowhere fastg. everyone is correct as far as i can see to a certain extent. let me add more food for thought. a single engine airplanes prop turns clockwise as viewed from the cockpit. when the engine is revved up for takeoff the natural tendency of the plane is to turn to the left due to the physics of the accelerating propeller and engine. this is called gyroscopic precession. there is no way around it other than giving right rudder during the take-off roll to stay on the runway. could this same phenomenon be translated to a car/truck with an engine turning in one direction i dont know which which causes all things being equal the right side to slightly twist down giving it more traction thereby giving the illusion of it being the drive wheel theres got to be more rotational force in a truck engine than a light airplane. just thinking out loud here but it makes some sense to me. --mike okay let me bring it down to earth. if the right rear is spinning or is the drive wheel as some would suggest going foreward what happens when you put it in reverse dont things twist or load in another direction dont answer cause this is another nowhere thread. those that know how to drive will continue to look for ls and those that dont wont. again it is all about the driver and said driver knowing his/her limitations. roy but since the right axle tends to spin more than the left one it is still favored. lol favored whatever..... again the conditions existing determine the axle that will spin. neither axle is more prone to spinning or more affected by those conditions than the other. a mechanical contraption designed to allow a difference in axle speed with no bias built in will not favor either axle. not that im god or anything. but i think both ideas are correct. a differential is designed to not favor any side and it doesnt. true enough the wheel with less traction always spins. but torsion of the chassis leads to a general condition of one side having more downward force holding the tire to the road under heavy acceleration. so that would mean the other side would have less traction because its not being pushed down on by torsion of the chassis even though both wheels are on similar traction surfaces. but i think we all know that what ever tire is on the ice... if the other is on bare pavement.... will spin no matter what side its on providing the traction control doesnt stop it. .
