How to tell if car has limited slip differencial

Hope someone can help, are there any markings on the differential that signafies if it’s a limited slip or not?

Next time the car is on the lift turn one of the rear wheels if you turn one wheel clockwise and the other goes counter clockwise it does not have LSD and is an open-diff. The easier way is to run a VMI or ask service department to look up the options list.

Assuming you're trying to detemine if it has factory LSD, put your VIN in this website:

Look for option code 471.
