lsd or not?

[diamondblacke28]

how can you tell a limited slip diff.
when the tag is to corroded to see an S.
and the diff is'nt on the car.

is there a way to tell by turning the diff by hand.

[anton]

yeah, if you turn the diff by hand.. obviously with the vehicle on a lift or something...
if only ONE of the wheels turn. then its not a limited slip diff..

if both wheels turn,. then my friend, you are lucky,then youhave a limited slip diff..

i want a limited slip diff!!!

close but not 100% right. if both wheels turn in the same direction then u have an lsd if only 1 turns or they turn in opposite directions u have an open diff or single spinner. this may be a bit difficult with the diff out of the car hold the input drive then turn one drive shaft mounting point and observe the other side.

if the diffs out and it aint a lsd, weld it.

sorted.

whats meant by welding it? what do you weld?

You weld together all the bits that allow the wheels to turn at different speeds when cornering. Not really ideal for road use - fun, but not ideal.

spin the fooker up the road

yeah nice rolling burnout up the road! see if you leave one black line or 2 steaming ones

welded diffs are easy to drive with day to day. so long as u done mind onlookers frowning as ur car makes skidding and skuffing noises at like 2mph when turning lol

as jmc330i has shown in that lovely pic u simply weld the sun and planet gears together and you can weld em to the cage if you like aswell but not required.

As mentioned great for drifting, if u like sideways ul love a welder!!!!
