Mon, 03 November 2003 02:18 Firstly if anyone has an MA61 LSD and is a little scared of drifting, I can help you out with an open centre for your car. Could probably even do a direct exchange of centres for nufin. Anyhow. To check if it is an LSD. Jack it up and turn one wheel by hand as draven and TE72_Turbo said. If the wheels spin in opposing directions, then you can be fairly confident that it is an open centre. If they spin in the same direction, then it is either an LSD or an open diff with really crook bearings. A clutch type LSD should be very difficult to turn the wheels in opposing directions. I can't remember what the numbers are but it should be set to somewhere like 100-200 ft.lb. of torque. If you do have an LSD that is relatively easy to turn the wheels in opposing directions, then it is time for a rebuild. As far as wether two wheels spin when you dump it, that is a bit of a fallacy. The MA61 has an independent rear suspension, therefore there is no torque reaction to transfer weight from one wheel to the other. If your car suspension/balance is relatively even side to side, then even an open centre will light up both tyres. This incedently is the reason why mose live axle cars with open centres spin the RHS weel and not the Left. [Report message to a moderator]
