How to tell if dtss is installed

I bought a FC about 4 months ago with a lot of parts. The owner of the FC focused his build on N/A drifting. I didnt know anything about FC's when I bought the car so I didnt know about the dtss. How can I tell if the car already has toe elim bushings installed in it. I wouldnt want to go through the hassle of buying the bushings and installing it if its already installed. Can someone descriptively describe how the car would feel with the toe elim bushings installed or how the bushings would look and feel compared to a stock one?

TY!!!

oops i meants toe elim bushings installed on the title lol noob

I'll try my best to describe how DTSS feels...

At moderate cornering speeds, turn-in feel has "good" rotation (as if the outside rear tire steers out).

After the apex the chasis feels stable as if steering correction isn't necessary (like a zero-countersteer drift).

So the dtss was causing the car to correct itself after a drift with a whipping motion, ok i get it thanks.

time for elim bushings!
