E30 Lsd

[e30rig]

I was wondering if there is a way of telling if a diff is a lsd by looking at the serial number and what type it would be

[german-speed-demon]

eurotuner just had a project up. They said their should be an "s" stamped on the case. If there is, that should be Limited Slip. Also, jack the ass end up and turn one wheel. If the other turns the other way, it's LS. I think...i'll check and try to post tommorrow.

should say on the diff tag before the numbers. there wil lbe an S or you could phone the dealer and give them your id tag and they will tell you, but they might screw up ghead

if rotates the same way its LSD.... opposite is open.
just make sure both wheels are in the air, its really bad for an LSD to turn one wheel and not the other

how is that bad? it does it every time you turn a corner.... one wheel will spin more then the other one, which in theory should be the same as holding one and spinning it a little bit should it not? no offence or anything

i dont know if that is too bad for it, but yes the rear wheels should spin in the same direction when one is spun in order for it to be a LSD. what kind of car is this to make you think it has an LSD?

i jacked it up when i got it when i spun one wheel the other spun same direction but only when only turned really slow so i wasnt sure was it limo or not so of course i tryed to throw it round it done a few doughnats but now it only spins one wheel.thanks for the help lads now im fairly sure its a limo it will be worth it to strip it done prob needs plates would anyone know how much they would cost out of interest ?
