Dickensheets Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 A week or so ago someone here said they had a mech lift their car and turn the back wheels by hand, and they went the same direction (LSD). Well I put mine on jack stands today and ........... .....no LSD. I was bummed even though I would have been suprised to find out otherwise. Ryan edit: i said opposite in the first post but meant "same" direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan If the back wheels spin in opposite directions that indicates an open diff. On a Limited slip Diff (clutch type) the wheels will rotate in the same direction. I've never had or played with a vlsd so I can't say how it reacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 A week or so ago someone here said they had a mech lift their car and turn the back wheels by hand, and they went the same direction QUOTE] That was me, Ryan. On my '05 OBW AT. It was kind of cool to watch the wheels rotate in perfect speed and directional synch; just like my ol' Radio Flyer wagon. That's why I had to ask the tech about it.

Dickensheets Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 That's cool to have. Do you have a stock obw? Does anyone know what model year they put LSD on the rear of these things. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly correct for the Subaru VLSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
