go to a parking lot with some loose gravel, and make slow, tight turns on the gas, and listen for the inside tire to spin.

Not sure if this help


Go to an empty parking lot, Do a straight line burn out , and if you see 2 tire mark then I think your LSD is working , if you only see 1 tire mark, then you have an open diff.

Open Differential = non-Limited Slip Differential. The kind that you find on the average car

You can also jack the rear of the car up, put in 1st gear, and manually turn one wheel and the other one will turn the opposite way...
