Is there a definite way to find out if I have an LSD already installed? I admit I have done a couple burnouts, out of curiosity, but they've never been "one wheel peels". What's the best/ foolproof way to find out?

we only have esp fitted.
lsd is an expensive aftermarket part for us to buy.

i might get a Quaife later on when the currency rate is in my favour.

do you know if there is any extra modification needed to fit the LSD into diff housing?

Exactly, I'm aware an LSD was not installed from the factory. That's why I'm wondering if both wheels spinning is normal, or if an aftermarket LSD has already been installed possibly by a previous owner.

it's normal, because you're at a stand still and overpowering the ESP.

In situations where you're moving is when it ruins everything and goes peg-leg, costing you momentum and wheel horsepower.

Ok thanks, I get what you're saying. At what point does it go peg-leg, a certain mph?

I think it's certain situations as opposed to a certain speed. Like if you can't break loose for a brake torque burnout, you can jam both pedals to the floor, then release the brake pedal for a split second and then jam on it again. This will trip up the ESP and cause only one wheel to spin while the other doesn't.

ESP is great for my wife but the worst for me.

It's from (W124 300E/300D/300TD/300CE/300E 4Matic), with ASD 3.07 diff.

to make it fit; you well need to switch side flanges from your C43 to the ASD diff.,

and should to get CLK320 rear shaft piece, to match the size of the front flange & flex disc,,

*of course this in not my idea, i took it from our good friend's "money-one"..

Didn't he also say another option was to get a diff from a w209 55/slk32 diff use a 208 cover both it up and just install a quaiffe.
