Turn one wheel forwards, if the other goes forwards too, LSD.

If it goes backwards, not!

I mean if you jack it up both wheels wil turn the same way, i doubt he will want to strip it down to check seens as though he's just got it back on the road lol

Ye funny that eh lol, the thing is ben paid for a lsd to be put in as it was the diff that melted. The reason i'm doubting it is because it was supposed to have had 1 in it when the same bloke rebuilt his box and it blatently never, it used to just spin the 1 wheel up as soon as it hit boost lol

standard LSDs are utter toss with about 10% lock anyhow.

does the both wheels forward thing work on them? if the diffs not got any pre-load (can imagine a lot of stock diffs havent) thatd not work anyhow really?
