The quick and fairly certain first check is the brakes. Disc=LSD most of the time, drums=no LSD the VAST majority of the time. From there, the jack method works well. The only time that a disc brake car wouldn't have a LSD is if it were swapped for an open diff and vise-versa for the drums.

I just added a couple of LSD threads to the FAQ. Hopefully this'll help in the future.
