Hi,

I have a doubt related to a Ford Scorpio Differential with the following reference:

85BB AA 362

4A 9E 08.

Is It a LSD diferential?

Best Regards,

José Novo

 

Only way to know for certain is try to rotate the rear tyres/flanges. If they rotate in opposite directions, no LSD. If there is a working LSD inside, they should rotate in the same direction, and resist noticeably if you try to rotate one without the other.

 

i wouldn't think so based on the code

open up the rear casing and have a look inside

 

on that code - NO

 

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply.

The part number is 83bg 4033 ba instead of the above and it is a LSD diff.

 

I thought the AA codes where LSDs, and seeing that the ratio is 3.62 could mean it's a 7" diff from a Scorpio 4x4 (Granada mk3 in UK). But to be sure just turn the drive flanges in opposite direction and see if there's a lot resistance. If yes, then it's an LSD. If no, it's not an LSD, or the LSD is worn out.
