On a cusco rs 1-way diff, should the cam be pointing toward the back of the car or toward the front of the car?

i believe it should be like the second pic....think of it like this...when u accelerate the "ball" will move back

I just did this to my cusco diff.... There are two cam possibilities. One is the diamond cut and the other is the half triangle looking cut.
You want the cam to sit in the half triangle looking cut.
The diamond cut is for the 2 way.

Thanks for the replies guys. I had to reassemble my diff again because I prettymuch had it on negative 1-way mode - locking when braking LoL! Actually, acceleration still kicked the rear end out but I think that was only due to the initial torque on the diff from those springs.

Anyways thanks, it's all good now.
az - I wish mine was double adjustable but I only have cam lobes for 1-way hehe

I thought all cusco LSDs were adjustable....
You should have 2 different "camshafts"... The cams are all the same. The link I posted shows the different combinations
