No LSD on the ole' Outback.

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.

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.

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.

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.

That is exactly correct for the Subaru VLSD
