I dare to say my OEM LSD is still working reasonably ok after 45K street miles and 10K track miles (those are mine). When i park my car in reverse, and in need of a full lock turn, my LSD still stutters, bounces and makes noise like a 1940 ***** Jeep.
And the final, only way, to really test (measure) it, is with a torque wrench (taking the drive shafts off)
Prior to taking it out for repair, you should do this anyway to be even more sure. I also did that 5000 miles ago and it was still within Porsche's tolerances proving that not all LSD's are being shot after 16K miles ;-)

When driving up som very steep, thight hairpin turns (12-15% uphill 180 degree turns) the inner rear wheel lifted clean off the road for a long time in every turn. When the wheel was in the air I had no traction out of the turn, and when it finally came down the car shot foreward leaving a singel stripe of rubber marks after the inner wheel was finally gripping. This happened in several turns, going both right and left.

It's a major PIA, but doable. With a lift, easier on the upper body (I would imagine). Pulling the L axle, easier still. Not complicated at all, just difficult to access and work around hoses, axle, etc.

Also, I'd use the factory technique as the only test. Slight tail wagging on hard braking does not in an of itself indicate a screwed diff. From Post #1; "Very unstable", is tough to quantify. GL
