crash321 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I am a new guy here and really appreciate all the information and knowledge you all have. I have a auto tech background, but have not been practicing for a while now unless you count my own vehicles (mostly GM). I have a 98 OBW with the 2.5 5 speed. This is my first roo and have loved it so far. How can you tell you have a LSD. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks so much guys.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 for most lsd diffs, you jack up both rear wheels and turn one wheel by hand. if both wheels turn the same direction it's limited slip. if they turn in different directions then it's an open diff. this may not work on a viscous lsd. in those, the viscous fluid needs to heat up before it will limit slipping. any one else know about a vlsd?

wtdash Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I don't believe in '98 the OB had an LSD. Subaru is a bit inconsistent w/their (V)LSD applications. Here's a reference for you: http://spda-online.ca/modules/tinycontent/rewrite/tc_28.html Also, did you check the back of the rear diff - this an older one, but should work as an example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crash321 Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Thanks, I know that my diff does not have the lsd label on it, it is just that my rear end slides right out fron under me in the snow. Pretty cool though:burnout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You don't. LSD's only come on performance models and not all of them. Outback's are not, so it wouldn't have come with one stock. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outback's are not, so it wouldn't have come with one stock. GD Are you sure? I could have sworn some of the Outback Limited models and maybe even those with "Cold Weather Package" had LSDs...

subsince77 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The only reason I viewed this thread was to see if someone was going to post something like that.

rweddy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 that chart has inaccuracies..... Didn't LS wagons come with it stock also? I have a 5 spd 91 ls wagon & thought I had LSD rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it humourous, and appreciated the humor, just didn't feel it needed a comment (it was a small joke that could stand on its own).

Sorry, but only the Sport Sedan (turbo) had the 3.90 VLSD in '91.....you should have a sticker on your rear diff (see my earlier post) w/info.
