Question about rear diff and wheel lift
Just curious on what happens.
Rear diff LSD, what does the rear inside tire do when it's lifted off the ground?
So in my case, I was doing a turn around, started to accelerate before the car straightened out, when the car straightened out, the inside tire landed and did a little jerking.
Will the outside tire react different if the inside tire isn't lifted?
Here is the video, happens at the 26 second mark.

Coming from miata LSD info, the clutch type diffs should not send power to the lifted wheel. So, I believe you are correct

Also, I had a similar problem with my stock diff setup, the car would wobble left and right when the rear tire came back down. I think it was the torque split balancing back out. The 12-plate dif kit fixed that for me. Food for thought

yea, technically speaking, a clutch diff should only send power to the wheel on the ground. same situation as if one wheel were on ice - clutch diffs will send power to the wheel with grip. it's not perfect, depends on lock up, etc. if you're not drifting/powersliding, which you weren't, likely the inside wheel struggling as it gains traction and receives power, is my guess
