Editing Limited slip and locking differentials

{{youcanedit}}

Checking for a limited slip differential (posi) is not as simple as jacking up the rear of the car and turning the wheels. I don't know how many times I have seen a LSD that would let the wheels spin in opposite directions because the clutches were worn or something else was wrong with it. 

I have also seen many rear ends that woudl turn both wheels in the same direction even though it had a standard differential in it. Things like bent axle tubes, worn cross shaft or galded gears can cause this. The ONLY sure way to know what is in the rear end it to remove the cover and look inside.
