Getting the Wheeling Fever
I've got a '90 Amigo that does not have the original rear-end in it. Is there a quick test to tell if its open or limited-slip?

jack the back up and spin the tires. See if they turn together or in opposite directions. Someone correct me if this is wrong. Opposite direction is open and same direction is LSD right?????

Look on the Pumpkin Housing, mine has a little decal on it the back of it (towards the rear bumper). It says "use only LSD oil"

IIRC Amigo's did not come with that option...someone else might disagree but I'm pretty sure they didn't.

Edit: My bad didn't see the "not original" part. Forget what I said!
