    Default IRS Spin both wheels?

    Does it spin both wheels at the same time?

    If its LSD then yes otherwise no. IRS means Independent Rear Suspension.

    What your confusing it with is an open diff vs. LSD (limited slip differential)

    Jack the car up so that the wheels are off the ground. Spin a wheel, and if they both spin the same way, its LSD, if the spin opposite, its not LSD.

    You could just jack up one wheel and if it is stiff to turn it's LSD, if not it's an open (or a shagged LSD). Trans in neutral and handbrake off.

    Make sure the car is on level ground, chock the wheels and use a jack stand.

    That sound like a good idea. I'll get a mate to monitor the car just in case it becomes unstable
