Do I have LSD in my trans?

Looking to purchase some replacement axel shafts for my 96 Maxima.
I have ABS with the auto trans. The parts houses are asking if I have a Limited Slip Differential as well.
How can I tell? I even called Courtsey Nissan parts and they couldnt tell by the VIN#

Is there a code on the data plate?

Thanks in advance!

There is a 7 character transaxle code on the data plate on your firewall
If the last character is a V, you have VLSD. If it is an A, then you have a conventional diff.
