How can you tell if a car has a Limited slip diff fitted?
I have been told that if you turn one of the wheels on a car with an LSD the opposite wheel goes in the same direction instead of the other way. Is this true?

i don't think so, it operates as an open diff until the forces acting are enough to engage the cluches ect, so just turning it by hand wont cause it to lock. or i might be talking poo.if they both turn the same way it might be welded . best way is do a big burn out ;D 1 means open diff 11 its a slipper!

I saw the heading there and thought this was a discussion about something else, i.e. something that doesn't do much for your cornering but has other noticable effects! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Damn................with the title of this thread I thought there was going to be a discussion about Pink Elephants riding mopeds through a grassy field or in my case some years ago, crocodiles floating in my mates pond.

95% of LSD`s operate as you thought, ie turn one wheel and the other wheel turns the same way if the diff is open or I think a torsen the other wheel will turn in the opposite direction
