Look for a tag on the back of the diff that should have some details or jack both back wheels up off the ground and spin them if both wheels turn in one direction then its a LSD if one wheel turns one way and the other the a different direction the its a standard diff.

also you can jack up 1 rear wheel so no damage will be done if car moves forward and try to drive forward, you have a working LSD if it moves

I had a car with LSD and it wasnt until I got bogged that I realised the LSD wasnt working anymore

just jack it up from the centre and turn one wheel, if the other one turns its an LSD.

when you jack the car up spin one of the wheels if the other side turns the same direction then its a LSD if it turns the opposite way then its not a lsd

they spin both wheels when traction is low like in the wet or on grass.

both spin every time on tarseal, 1 going sideways sometime but mostly 2. wheel bearings are stuffed dont no if this would curse this
