ford_ba17 wrote: Hi all, Recently i had bought a diff off a guy in Queensland and had it shipped to Victoria. It was off a ba xr6 Throughout the process, he had told me it was an lsd, which is what i wanted; otherwise i would've kept my 3.23 stock single spinner. Looking at the diff today this is what i found: Looking at other threads has somewhat confused me as to what i should be looking for; some people say it is Lsd, some people say it is single. Therefore: Any input or specs would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! It is an LSD unless the bloke went to the trouble of changing the label and the metal tag? A metal tag carrying the words ’HIGH PERFORMANCE USE APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY’ is attached under the filler plug for LSD. |

I thought 'High Performance' in fords eyes meant 4 pinion.
Slip Resistant / LSD meant limited slip. I'd lean towards a single pegger!

why dont you just find out for yourself if its a lsd, jack it off the ground and spin a rotor/axle if they both spin its a LSD

its an open centre diff for sure. as it says 3.45 : 1 ratio.
below that it says STD for standard. it would say LSD if it was such. metal tag on filler plug is ezily put there. probly a fuk up from a mechanic that changed the diff oil and put it there. tag doesnt lie.

It IS an LSD, the text I added in Bold is from the FORD workshop manual.
A metal tag carrying the words ’HIGH PERFORMANCE USE APPROVED LUBRICANT ONLY’ is attached under the filler plug for LSD. |

The housing in my T has LSD on the sticker where that one says STD. hard to believe they would bother with different stickers if they meant nothing. I vote for it being an open diff, esp when Xr6's came out with open centres as standard. Not too many seemed to get that option ticked from what I have seen!
