[QUOTE="NHDude4, post: 1571253, member: 27913"] Not sure if a lot of people drive it like a Prius here but yes, this is consistently a problem. Just last night I was making a left turn at a stop sign and only mildly accelerating in the rain it spun up the left rear. I was thinking how much more I'd benefit from a limited slip rear end. If you really get on it it'll break both rears loose which is fine, but when you're turning and accelerating it'll spin up the inside rear. The solution is to put it in 4A in the wet. Any time one of the rears is getting enough power to spin power us sent forward and you never spin. It's NOT true that the the traction control system acts like a LSD. It will reduce power to control spinning and if you start losing control the system will brake individual wheels to regain control. What it won't do is apply brake to a spinning rear to act like a limited slip. This would have been the best solution to the problem. I don't like using 4A when I don't have to because it makes the steering heavy off-center. [/QUOTE]
