Well, the most reliable way is to park the car with one wheel on ice and the other on asphalt. If you can drive away, you have an LSD. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
If you have both wheels off the ground, then spinning one by hand will cause the other to spin the opposite way with an open diff. With a clutch type, both wheels will spin the same direction (at least if you spin one wheel fast enough). However, with a Quaife-type LSD, it will behave like an open diff if one (or both) wheels are off the ground, so that's not a 100% reliable method. I've heard that you can't turn both wheels (or the halfshafts) in the same direction at the same time by hand with a Quaife, but I've never tried it. |
