LSD/Torsen ID
I'm looking for a Striker at the moment. It's got a live rear axle. How can you identify what diff is inside? I know you can lift the rear
and spin a tire and see what the other one does. This to check if it's an open diff or a LSD. But how do you check for a Quaife diff? It has a
preload right? So both wheels should spin the same way so how can you identify if it has a clutch-type diff or a Quaife/Torsen?
Can someone with a Quaife diff do this test to see if both wheels turn the same way?

Just because both wheels spin the same way does not mean it is lsd, I got court out like this.

With an open diff the wheels spin the opposite way. This is a fact. How can you state this is false?
