Car Info: 97' Dodge Cummins and an RSTI thingie
Great, gotta love that, I've been driving with extra S in the rear for a few k miles.... If my rear LSD goes, it'd be very noticeable as in shuddering etc?
They sell tubes of "friction modifiers"? I'm just ordering the LSD oil, but it sucks because I have to order it, and my suby's my main transport at the moment...

Car Info: MY04 STi some call it a race car
The stock STi and aftermarket Rear LSD's (Cusco, Carbonetic, Kaaz, etc...) need LSD Friction Modifier, it allows for smoother operation and helps by not binding/locking up. They need to slip a bit to function properly.
Non Torsen LSD's need Friction Modifier. The 08+ Models do not, as they are Torsen LSD's
Torsen = gear style
Non = plated (clutches)

All shops make mistakes, you can tell a good shop by how it resolves them.
