okay heres the scoop. during left hand corners my explorer spins the left wheel really easy under realitivly light accleration. during right hand turns it barely chirps.

I am wondering does this sound like a problem with my limited slip?? ive already checked the brakes for uneven pressure or something there. but also i just read that incorect toe in could cause this, which means a bent axle. but how hard is it to bend an 8.8?? a year or so ago i was rear-ended and it bent my frame a little, could that cause some of this? or would that just make the truck track a little funny? i dont think the bend in the frame is near the leaf mounts. thanks in advance guys

Incorrect toe will cause the front tires to chirp under cornerring, but I have never heard of this happening on the rear. From your discription is sounds more to me like you have a posi going weak on the right side.
 






good thats cheaper/easier to fix :) thanks!!!
