what about an 04 gt? It is an option? I dont have traction control.
My back right tire is worn out much more than the left. I think I dont have posi, lsd, or traction loc.

Yeah you have lsd.....all gt's come w/ it standard. It might not be working right, take it to the dealership and find out, especially if it's still under warranty. If you can get your car in the air, an easy way to see if it's completely toasted is to turn one of the rear tires w/ your hand, and if the other one doesn't turn...it's toasted.

all 04's have fords ****ty trac lok, it sucks, not really a true possi. and traction control, and ABS are an option. i dont have it either. but if your only spinning one wheel you prob blew a clutch disk in the rear.

you do alot of burns outs and such????

I dont do a lot of burnouts just punch it a lot. Sometimes powerslide around u turns. I dont have traction control or ABS. I always skid when stopping too fast, it pisses me off.

When I had my car on the lift i turned one wheen and dont remember the other turning. This may be a problem.

nope, no button is there for traction control. If abs is a standard, then why would I skid if I push the brakes too hard?

ones supposed to turn in the opposite direction, an open diff applies power and torque to both wheels until 1 looses traction and then 100% of the power goes to that 1 wheel, in the SN-95s its the right tire

here is how you find out for people who dont know, go in the middle of the street with no traffic

if your an auto
put tranny in 1st gear manually, place left foot on the break, and push gas down with right, hold, let off break, let off gas about 3-5 seconds and shift back to drive after a few seconds

if your a 5 speed
1st gear, hold clutch with left foot, with toe of right foot hold break, with heal of right foot rev to 4-5k, dump clutch, transfer left foot to break;)
