A mechanic told me today that he thought my 2012 F6 had an open diff and not LSD and was probably swapped out on a diff recall as they had problems.

bad inferno Member 130 Member For: 18y 8m 9d Posted 02/04/20 08:44 AM Author Share Posted 02/04/20 08:44 AM Thanks, Just found out how to test via two rear wheels off the ground and spin one by hand. spin same direction = LSD. I will do this on the weekend, I question this as it was a reputable garage (although didnt believe him about recalls and ford throwing an open diff in there, I thought BS) . So has me worried about if the previous owner had changed it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
