Ok so i have a 95 base and im new to 240sx and rwd. ok so this is my issue: when i make right turns its fine, i can go around a turn fast and the back end slides out fine. now when i make left turns heres the problem. unless im going real fast and take a turn hard, it seems like the back end is skipping across the road. feels like its binding up. its like a studder in the rear. thats the best i can explain it. now my question is , is that a bad diff? or could it be something else. only happens on left turns. any help would be appriciated

You have an open diff, the tire with the least traction is getting the power. Nothing is broken it is just how these diffs act. You might have some suspension issues causing a tire to hop but that is not because of the diff.

Ok thanks. Any idea on what kind of issue it could be?
