mantadoc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Almost always the answer is no. May have been a rare option (they were on Kadett C) but I really don't know. With both back wheels in the air, handbrake off and car in gear (engine off of course) if you spin one wheel as if the car I going forward and the other rotates as if driving backwards it's just a diff not an LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 That's not always the case spinning the wheels, if it's a quaiffe diff it only works as an LSD when under power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantadoc Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) preload usually takes care of that, in which case out of gear. Or manually turn the prop while some one applies resistance to a wheel. Want to be any surer just have a look through the filler hole or drop the cover. The opel workshop test for the factory Kadett LSD was to suspend 150KG IIRC from a rope wound around a rim and put a torque wrench on the other hub and measure the torque to lift the weight.
