    sold rear axle and one wheel spinning?

    Hey guys, this is on my old 3rd gen fbody road racer. For as long as I can remember, I have never been able to put any power down coming out of a right hand turn. As soon as I get on the gas, I instantly light the rear right tire. I have always thought it was a worn out diff, but I finally...
