Hopefully this will better explain. On a RWD car, you have a drive shaft that goes into a differential that turns the wheels. Now, what the differential does is take the rotational motion of the shaft and transfers it to the rotational motion of each wheel.

With a limited slip, the power is transfered to both wheels equally... (depending on the type of limited slip differential you have) basically... hope that helps.
