    ey mate simple get under your car look at the diff ussually the LSD diffs have a high performance tag on it, which is easy to see and my mates by memory wrote LSD on it

    easy way to tell, harden the f*** up and get on the break for a few seconds and if it kiks to the side and goes up the street side ways then its an LSD if you just stay on the exact spot and smoke up a hell of alot then its a piece of shit diff and you need to get an LSD installed.

    jack it up and turn one wheel by hand, if the other one turns, it is an LSD, if the other wheel doesn't turn, it a single spinner or a screwed LSD, usually a single..

    not if it LSD'd almost every time, a welded diff is the tightass way of having a spool, it would LSD every time unless the weld breaks
