Ok heres the deal, ive been getting mixed answers to this question. My car leaves two stripes when doing a straight burn out and when sideways (IE Turning the wheel to one side and dropping the clutch and spining around, I did this today in a parking lot).
However a friend who is a mechanic said to jack it up and spin the wheel. I did there was some resistance to turn the wheel but the other wheel did not move. He then said this meant open diff.
However another friend who is a mechanic said this deffinately means VLSD and the other tire not movein simply meant it was not locked. Also a friend with a 350Z that deffinately has a VLSD did the same test and his opposite wheel hardly moved at all either.
whats the deal here?

thanks alot guys.
