I am looking for the front & rear LSD’s for a Toyota 2.7 VVTi Raider. This vehicle is in South Africa and if need be I am willing to export the parts to South Africa.
Is there someplace that can help me?

Jekyl & Hyde,

I did what you suggested (checking rotation of opposite wheel), and the wheel on the opposite side fails to move in either direction. Could that mean it may have a different type of LSD?

Hi,

I have a 2007 model Mazda BT50 Diesel 4/4 Freestyle Cab- chassis ute. How can I test that the vehicle has a working LSD rear differential.

Many thanks

Ron.

Everyday driving they wont be different, driving them around a track the G6E turbo will just be smoking it up around every corner. While the XR6 Turbo will get alot more power to the ground around the corners

No, If cornered hard the INSIDE wheel will spin, because weight is transfered to the outside of the car. Therefore the inside rear has very little weight on it, reducing grip, and increasing the likelihood it will spin…

It will be more unpredictable when driven hard, some say safer in the wet (though the falcon has good grip in the rear now as apposed to the past)
If Driven hard then it is more likely to spin the outside wheel crazily.

woops, epic revival batman

The Ford G6ET does not have a LSD but the XR6 does. Will the lack of a LSD have any affects or benefits for the G6ET?
