Checking Sierra diff
Northy - 20/3/05 at 03:23 PM

Hi all,

I've ended up with two LSD's how can I check if they are ok when not fitted to a car (or is this not possible)?

I don't want to clean and paint one to find out its a whines

You can test the lsd by turning one wheel and see if the other wheel rotates in the same direction.

You can feel if ther is much back lash by seeing if how much you can move the prop before the wheels turn. That is about as much as you can test.

If one of them's the one you got off me, I can tell you it didn't whine in the sierra

Er, hope that helps.

That'll do me, it's the cleanest one of the two anyway!

Can you remember what ratio it is?

Should be a 3.62 as it was on a 2.8 sierra.

Cheers Liam,

Thats saved me two jobs, working out the ratio, and re-calibrating the speedo!
