Limited Slip, or no Limited Slip??

As much as I hate to post this, I cannot find a definite answer anywhere regarding this and I want to be sure to purchase the proper parts the first time. If this is as simple of an answer as it should be, we should throw it in the 4th Gen FAQ's

I've got a 97 Maxima SE, automatic.

While browsing the parts lists to purchase 2 reman halfshafts, I am posed with the question of whether I have Limited Slip or not. Well, I can't find that information anywhere

I'm sure there's an easy way to find the answer, so anyone with this little nugget of knowledge, please share

Thanks All!

Turn your front wheels. If they spin in opposite direction, you dont have LSD. Also if you look at the passenger side firewall, if you have a "V" you have LSD. If not then you dont.
