Question about my 2000 Mustang V6 convertible differential

I purchased a 2000 V6 vert, that the previous owner had done some work to. So far I have figured out that he did suspension related work, such as Shocks, spring, ect. Now to my question about the diff:

I see a lot of posts talking about the stock diffs on Mustangs saying that only the right rear wheel has power, and that the left wheel will spin freely. When I make sharp right turns, like into a parking space, my left tire skweals. Does that mean that he replaced the diff to, and if so, what kind of differential would cause that to happen?

theres a couple ways to tell...do a burnout and see if you have a one wheel or two wheel spin...or jack it up and spin one wheel..if the other spins then yes you have a tlok..

I checked everything out and I do have an LSD w/ 4.10 gears. Got lucky that they were on there when I bought it. Bonus!!!:woo:
I guess I got a better deal than I had thought. The previous owner did a lot of the same stuff I was planning to do. Less $$$ I have to spend in the long run. Sweet

nice...I figured you would have been able to tell if you had 4.10's in your car..your RPM start to max out quick on those higher speeds...whats the fastest you say you have taken it?

Ya this previous Owner saves me a buttload of money, I was checking into things to see what I sould do to it, and severl of the things I planned on doing were already done. I didn't notice the suspension drop at first. After driveing my 2002 Explorer, driving the Stang made me feel like my butt was scraping the deck. A couple of days after I got it, I pulled up to another Mustang at a light and noyices that my mirrors were lower than his, by an 1" or so. So that's when I realized tha my car had already had some work done to it an started checking into what was done. I think I got a hell of a deal, I don't think the dealership know anything had been done to it, I didn't get it at a Ford dealership, I got it at a Nissan Dealership.

they prolly had an idea, but mods dont increase the value of a car...if anything they decrease it because a lot of people aren't willin to take on another persons "problems", and when a car is modded out it prolly means the previous owner beat on his car all the time slamming the gas down every chance he gets...like us! :hihi:


good deal tho
