Question on 2012 Tacoma Limited Slip Differential

If I punch it from a stop on black top in low 1, the right tire leaves a 30 foot dark black mark but the left tire leaves a much shorter and barely visible lighter black mark. Does this represent a working limited slip differential?

Re: Question on 2012 Tacoma Limited Slip Differential

Yes, a Ltd Slip Diff directs traction to the wheel with the least amount of traction.
On a paved surface both wheels have traction so the LSD doesn't really do much.
