i think you mean when you turn one wheel look to see what the other wheel does. if both turn in the same direction then it has a LSD

thanks ruchi...
so if my question is:
"im looking to fit an aftermarket lsd. can i expect my car to shudder in slow turns?"
the answer is:
"maybe"
the examples that you gave are, as you pointeed out, variables...except for the ratio of the lsd...so i can problably expeect it to shudder sometimes?...and sometimes worse than other times??
It's like asking will my wheels spin when I launch? The answer is it depends upon all the variables such as revs, speed, tyres, road.
The vibration/shudder shouldn't be anything major, it should just be a minor vibration through the steering wheel, a bit like when you corner fast and the tyres going from slipping to gripping back and forth a few times.
I have the cusco lsd and it does shudder, only when you are going very slowly in turns.
The benifit is that both wheels spin at the same time but you need really good tyres, otherwise it will cause unbelievable wheel spin. Good for some bad for others.........me.
That wheel spin and since i had bad tyres cause my clutch to go.
