Re: [Chrysler300] Limited Slip or not?

Thanks for everyone's input.  I'll get under the car, hold the yoke in place and try again this weekend.

If it has Sure-Grip and it is worn out, will the fluid have any distinctive appearance or odor, like particles of clutch material or a burnt odor?

Thanks,

You will have to hold the driveshaft yoke stationary will checking. The drag you feel on one side is likely brake shoes.

Subject: [Chrysler300] Limited Slip or not?

 

 

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.
