bris jas Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Glyn, If you jack up the rear of the car and spin one wheel if the other wheel spins the same way its a lsd if different directions normally a standard diff. Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ems Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 As the car is being stripped anyway you could always take the diff cover off and compare what you've got to pictures in a Haynes manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 d'oh just said the same thing on your other thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandydrinker Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hmm spun one wheel other spins opposite way so don't think it's a LSD:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Worth taking the rear cover off as some LSD's can't be tested by just spinning one wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 as mantasrme says cant tell by just spinning a wheel. i have an axle that turns same direction but is not a LSD just a stiff thick oil in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Abbott Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 There will be a huge chunk of milled smooth steel and you won't be able to see the spider gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
