1) First drive the car over a series of bumps in the road...

Q- Were you able to see strieght? If answered yes

A- Then you have PP

2)- When it starts to snow in a couple of months...

Q- Are you able to get out of your driveway? If no,

A- Then you don't have LSD

So having the LSD actually helps in winter driving? That's new to me!

Other than the steering wheel, look at your front brakes, if there are yellows bolts near in the inside of the disk brakes you have PP.

lift car (weight of the wheels) and spin rear tire with your hand. If the other tire spins in the opisite direction then you have NOT got LSD. If it spins in the same Direction then you do have LSD. (best of my knowledge)
