Default quaife / torsen question

Hi all,

I have a 87 924s that has been raced, but I dont know anything about the history or mods done to it. I can tell the easy visual suspension parts. Coil overs, spherical bearings, braces, etc...

The question I have about the rear that is currently installed. I can tell it has been apart at some point. When both wheels are in the air the, both wheels turn in the same direction, but I can hold one while the other is being turned with little resistance. The other rears I have just spin opposite.

Could this car have a torsen type differential installed?

Thanks
Pete

Thanks fir the reply. I understand how a lsd works and how to identify it. My question is specifically for checking a torsen/quaife style differential.

Do they have resistance when spinning one wheel and holding the other? This diff spins the other wheel the same as the wheel I am turning, but you can hold one still as the other turns with little force holding it.

The lsd I have is locked and cannot move them independent of each other. The open diffs I have spin opposite.

Thanks
Pete
