jack the rear end up and turn one of the rear tires. if they turn the same way it has a limited slip. if it turns opposite directions then its open. i believe thats right.... i may have open and limited confused but i dont think so.

Jack the rear, transmission in park. If you can't spin wheels, then lsd . . if you spin one, and the other goes opposite, then open diff. (or the clutches are shot)

Do it the easy way. Look at the sticker in the glove compartment and if you see ANTI-SPIN then it has LSD.
