Diffs/transfer box/lsd

Post by Timandclaire » Mon Sep 02, 2019 1:43 pm

Do they all use the same fluid?

I'm assuming that i don't have lsd as i can't find a yellow sticker due to excessive underseal being applied! Is there another method of identification?

Jack the rear up, both rears, slowly turn one wheel, if it's ltd slip the opposing rear wheel will slowly turn the same way, if it's not ltd slip it will make the opposing wheel rotate the opposite way.

With it being 4wd turn it with force to the point before the the 4wd viscous coupling starts to grip, too little force may not be detected on the rear axle LSD, you will get the feel for it.🤔
