jack up the rear, put it in neutral, and spin a wheel. if the other wheel spins the same direction, lsd. opposite direction, not lsd.

A 90 gtu does not come with lsd from the factory.

but

also in nuetral if u spin a wheel and have someone try to hold the other one still if u can spin one with the other one stationary then it is not an lsd either.
