How To Check If You Have Limited Slip.
Ok boys and girls.
Here's how you can check if your differential is limited slip or regular.
1. jack up both front wheels. You can jack up under the cross member if you have a floor jack, or use two separate jacks under jacking points on both sides.
2. While looking at the opposide side wheel, spin one wheel by hand:
If both wheels spin the SAME direction- You have Limited Slip Differential
If both wheels spin in OPPOSITE directions- You do not have Limited slip.

I did this with the car in park and again in gear and it was the same result.

No sir. Applies to both cars. Some maximas did come with LSD. You may have limited slip and not even know it.

Its a Limited Slip Differential. When one wheel slips it will automatically reduce power to that wheel and give more torque to the opposite side wheel via something called a viscous coupling.
