Spinning front, inside tire.

Was at the Finger Lakes Champ Tour this past weekend. Super grippy asphalt with one small concrete section. I had suspicion of raising the inside front wheel before, but this last event somewhat confirmed it. The front wheel is not so far off the ground, but just enough where the inside of the tire is barely hanging on and will spin when getting back on the throttle, before the weight moves back forward. I'll snap some pics when I get the wheels out of the backseat and you can clearly see just how chewed up they are. Evo X with -3.5 degrees front camber and stock AYC rear diff.

this you? congrats!
If I ever take my trans out I think i'll add a 1 way clutch into it, just to dodge this issue. I recently wrote a letter re-asking for a single aftermarket LSD for STU awd cars... lol

I'm going to try a few things to keep the front down... First, set the front CIRO brackets to stock. If i'm confident with the over-steer, i'll also set the rear bar to full stuff. I plan on raising the whole car a quarter inch before the next alignment. Hoping it will affect the geometry in a positive way.

So, I got the new diff in.. can anyone explain to me how in heck this is supposed to work? I would expect both sides to look kinda like on the box; with bearings to fit into the housing. But the one I have has this weird, giant bearing and opening. Am I to reuse part of the OEM unit and I'm just not remembering??
I tried to Google but could only find the same, generic picture for every single ad/article, etc.
Thanks, in advance!

It's like $1100 for all the options IIRC, and there is no point to not get all the options. Maxlock, HD side cover, Sight glass rear cover, new bearings/seals, shot peening, correct setup of Gear backlash/Contact pattern and bearing preloads.
You can't just toss your new diff in there. You have to check/set bearing preload and gear backlash.

Jason,
That diff, so that is Cusco for AYC diff?
For Evo 7/8/9?
I assume it disables AYC?
I know a guy who was selling a JDM E7 that was converted to LHD if I remember this correctly, and he had extra parts. One of the parts was Cusco rear LSD. Maybe that is the same person?

You basically just leave the clutch packs full of oil. blank off the lines and then on the pump side u just loop it back into the pump again. so yea essentially disables the ayc.
Thats how i had it explained to me anyway. ill let you know in a week or so when i drop my diff off to ralliart to install my cusco RS into my AYC diff haha.
