You get 2 wheels spinning when its equal weight on each, but a little difference on one side and then the wheels starts spinning a furious 1 wheel peel.

Ive never seen SC having LSD tho?

i dont see how a door tag will help you. its not gonna list every option the car came with lol

this is a waste of a thread. Blizzy needs to chime in and tell you the same thing i am. people seem to listen to him

the jacking up method to test a lsd was stated by someone else.

if you spin one wheel, the other wheel should spin in the opposite direction. if they both spin in same direction, then lsd, otherwise open diff.

the door tag lists if the car was equipped with lsd or not. I didnt check the door tags on the SCs that have done two wheel burnouts nor did I open the diff to check.
Next time I see the cars I will make sure they were non-LSD.

dont waste your time. if the diff is stock its guaranteed to be an open diff.

heres a link to my car doing a burnout.
that was back in the day when it was open diff. it starts off with one wheel and then the other one breaks loose and keeps going.

It doesn't matter. Put plainly and simply, it was never offered.

I don't have any factual information either way but I'd never heard of any SC ever having factory LSD. *shrug*

no sc's came with factory diff confirmed!!!

jack up car

both wheel spin SAME way = LSD

Both wheel spin Diffrent Direction(ie: one wheel spins forward and one wheel spins backwards) = open diff

Both mine spin from a stop in a strait line I leave two Identical marks so I guess I'm lucky (My 92 sc400 would only ever spin one) but when you give it gas in a corner it is painfully clear that it is not an LSD.
