Dumb question but do most audis have LSD (limited slip differentials). I know in racing or rally its used. I'm thinking yes, and don't tell me to search[sm=smiley24.gif]

Totally blanking but iirc there are 3 diffs front/rear and a Torsen center diff. Front and rear might be LSD but I'm not sure whatsoever. Having multiple diffs is nothin like a single LSD though.

EDIT: If someone wants to chime in, I'd like to know for sure as well.

I was answering a question about diffs in another post and totally forgot about LSDs. I've never really heard anyone talk about them.

I'm damn near certen that the front and rear are not LSD's but open diffs, the center one or torson diff, dosen't work quite the same but does hold qualitys similar to a LSD.

Ah yes, open diffs. I'm pretty sure you're correct.

I think the manual says it is a locker on the center (not a LSD)
