Re: [Chrysler300] Limited Slip or not?

Insure there is no drag from the brakes.  Then turning a wheel should cause the opposite wheel to turn in the same direction and the pinion will turn.  Holding the pinion wil force the differential to work and the opposite wheel will turn the opposite direction but the force required should be greater than an open differential.  May be hard to quantify.

All:

I am trying to figure out if a 1964 300 Sport sedan parts car I purchased recently has a limited-slip differential.

As I've done in the past to check other cars, I jacked up the rear with both tires off the ground and then rotated one rear tire.

I expected the other tire to turn - the same way for a limited-slip, the opposite way for an open diff.

Rotating one wheel, the other tire did not rotate -  so I went over to the other side and rotated it. Nothing from the opposite tire either!

There is no driveshaft - could that be the issue?

As it is, the driver's side tire rotated with some effort.  The passenger side had little resistance.

If I find the build sheet, where would the Sure-Grip notation be?  The body tag is missing.

Thanks for helping to solve this minor mystery.
