LSD Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jack your car up and rotate one of the front wheels by hand.. If the wheel on the other side starts turning in the opposite direction.. you have a open diff.

Your car likely has a open diff. on such low powered cars the advantage of running a LSD is negligible unless your doing a lot of track racing or drive the car in a place where there is lots of snow and ice in the winter.

Thanks for the input If the car had an LSD would they both spin the same direction or just lock up?
