jack up the rear of the car and turn one wheel. If the other turns then you have LSD.

What's up with all these SEs getting parts raped from them? Do you have 5 lug hubs or not?

Thats the technical way...

you can aways do it the fun way though. The fun way would be taking your car out (if its running) and tape your self doing donuts. Heh... If you see smoke from both wheels, then you have LSD

Here's another, Find a wet street and push the accellerator, near WOT to distrub traction, pay attention to how the car moves, if it is in a uniform flow such as pulling to the left or right easly, or going foward smoothly, then you have an lsd. Also, you can try to peelout and ask a friend to watch your tires from the rear of the car or the fun way as One Drift has stated, it is fun..hehe. After all these years i still like to mess around in the rain, when i first got my car i learned how it reacted doing this; i was more confident if something crazy happened. Through the rain i learn how to drift, to certain extent, e.i. steering, reaction, braking the rear out, etc.

ABS= anti-lock brake system

LSD= Limited Slip Differential...(not the drug )

that jacking up and turning the wheel doesnt always work cause stock lsd's on 240's are viscous. do the burn out.
