Limited slip front diff

Post by **Clem** » 04 Nov 2013 13:57

I see some guy on the 4x4 community forum says that since around 2010 the cars have been factory fitted with limited slip diffs in the front but that the manual doesn't mention it. Is that right?

News to me.....but we dont work on new ones ....surely if it is a lsd the oil will be wrong in the manual?

Lock the hubs, put it in 4h, jack it up and feel it?

You would definately be able to feel an LSD under those conditions.

And then let us know?

lock the front wheels and lift both wheels and turn them and if both of them turn in the same direction it will have the LSD.

That's exactly what I suggested on that forum that he does. Let's see if he tries it. When I asked him he said that he heard this from a Nissan service manager...

Thanks guys. I know how to check and will get around to it at some point. But I sense I'll be wasting my time.
