Hi guys,

got a quick question. I was doing car wash today, and when the car wash guy drives my car up a a ramp, the car got three-wheeled (wasn’t expecting suspension to be that hard..) and the left rear wheel was in the air. When he tries to drive up the ramp, I noticed that the left wheel keep spinning and the car just won’t move for a while, at the same time I don’t think the right rear wheel is moving much .. I had the same experience several times when I drive up the ramp of my garage, but watching one wheel spinning hard from the outside today just got me wondering and worrying a bit..not sure if it s normal at all for our cars....

This isn't anything out of the ordinary for the clutch-type LSDs we have on our cars. People tend to think an LSD should act like a locking differential, where both wheels spin at the same speed, but that isn't the case at all.

The only thing I find weird about your situation is why ESP didn't stop the wheel from spinning.

That's perfectly normal.
