was there ever LSD with drum brakes? i havent tore into my axle yet but will soon and i have drum brakes but it doesnt seem like an open diff because i have never had a one wheel burnout its always 2 from a stand still or going straight or doing donoughts its always two, but recently my axle started making a clunk noise when acceleration or turning so thats why im asking these ?s ill be taking it apart soon to find out whats really going on and if its really LSD or not and if not i want to put a true LSD in

AFAIK the LSDs started with the '81 GSL, which had on rear wheel disc/drum combo (drum for park brake only) and continued on only in cars with this combo e.g. GSL, GSL-SE (and post-1st-gen, disc only)

check the bearing. Years back I experienced a kind of grinding noise at low speeds e.g. rolling up to a red light and my left outer axle bearing was bad.

Lives on the Forum
If you are looking to upgrade to a LSD rear end, the easiest option is the GSL. That will let you keep the same wheels, give you disc brakes, and is a very straight forward swap.
Some members also say that you need to change the master cylinder and proportioning valve. I won't argue with them, but I will say that I did not do that and my brakes work great.

I am working on a complete swap document - not 100% complete yet:

When I saw the title of this post I thought it was going to be about the PIIDB mod.
