hay all.... was just wondering the easiest way to tell whether the ea has a limited slip diff or not... and will the climite control out of an eb fairmont fit or is it a big drama to put in?
Cheers ratt.... |

just jack both rear wheels off the ground (chock front wheels too), put the car into neutral, release handbrake, and spin a rear wheel. if it is lsd they both spin the same way. if its a single spinner, it will either just spin 1 wheel, or they go opposite.
cheers scott

An EA doing a LSD standstill? A single wheel be a tough job for it but 2?
I would jack it up and put it on stands and spin the wheels like has been said and while its up you can check the fluid and maybe change it if its black.

Thanx to you all who replied..it's mulit point fuel injection, no carbi, 5 spd manual, spins both on dirt...$400 worth of rear tyres and my WIFE say i can't test the burnout method...lol.....
If I jack the drivers side rear up, put it in 1st, should she try to jump off the jack?..or just spin the one wheel.... She may just be an EA, but I own her, leaving me money to spend doing her up.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

This is ratt's wife......i would let him do one small skid...BUT...he wouldn't stop at one or make it small...so in this case one small skid equals two blown tryes and a sharp smack across the back of his head from me...lol......
