for a 99 C2 that doesn't have LSD... which wheel is actually putting down the power? left or right?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Is this a trick question?

It depends.

.. on wether a wheel is....
POST 5Original post
the one with the least amount of traction until PSM or TC kicks in...i think
POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
seriously... I thought there was only one wheel that receives power if your car didn't have LSD....
POST 7Original post
Normal differentials sends power through the path of least resistance, which means the wheel with the least friction. If you park on pavement with your right wheel and on gravel with your left wheel, then the left wheel will spin and the right wheel will stay put.....and vica versa. In an LSD, there are various types of clutches which will send power to the high friction side when the low friction side starts to spin. These clutches can be either hydraulic, or mechanical. You'll have to Google to learn exactly how differentials work, unless someone here takes the time to describe in detail.

If the MY99 does not have TC then it is as Jasper has described above. If the car has TC then when one slips the ABD will kick in and the other wheel will drive.
