ahhh cmon  , you know how a lsd works its dosnt engage each wheel at exactly the same time
|
actually  i think i did some equations for this in a older thread.
the reason it pulls to one side is one wheel gets more traction.
this occurs because (with live axle) the diff housing is being rotated by the driveshaft, causing one wheel to be pushed into the ground, and one wheel to be lifted off. if the LSD does it's job, neither wheel breaks traction, and one wheel pushes that side of the car more, and causes the car to rotate (pull to one side)
with IRS, the diff centre is attached to car, so it's only the reactionary forces between engine and engine mounts that rotates the car. pulling to one side is much less likely with IRS.
compare to a live axle locker.... same thing happens. one wheel lifts, one pushes into ground BUT if one wheel lifts and starts spinning (reducing overall traction) then more force is transferred to the wheel that hasn't slipped yet, and this can cause it to slip as well.... so if you hit a bump on one side, you could suddenly lose traction on both sides!!!
my own opinion is that a torsen IRS is pretty good
