Re: Re[2]: [Chrysler300] Limited Slip or not?

Can just swap in a new whole center all rebuilt by someone like Don . Smart way to go ; used one may be crap shoot lot of work for nothing .  

Thrust pins at axle ends are different on sure grip , another way to tell . But may be junk . Back to first paragraph💡

Like my F that acted like an open rear on jack stands until I pulled the center section out and Bob Merritt pointed out to me that it was a sure grip that was not functioning correctly. I shipped it out to Don Verity and he quickly rebuilt it to factory specs.

There is also the possibility it is Sure Grip but 

it is a worn out Sure Grip. In that case it will

act like an open differential.

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.
