No Mate, if the go opposite ways its just a standard diff. If they go in the same direction then its a LSD

Don't bother jacking it up! Just get the revs up and drop the clutch, if you get two black lines you have an lsd
.............. one line and it's just a standard diff

i always left 2 lines with the open diff on my touring
did a few at lakeside just to proove the point
either check the tag it will have an s on it if lsd or jack up one side and if the wheel turns freely thn its open if it requires a lot of effort either the handbrake is on its in gear or you have a slipper

Damn! That's taken the fun out of lsd testing
