Do I have to put the car in neutral?

or can I jus jack up the rear and spin em like that?

I tried it today, but I forgot to put it in neutral... it spun like an open diff...

I don't think the car has to be in nuetral seeing that the VLSD should kick in on any gear. Jack it up again and try it in nuetral.

If there is any LSD in a diff if you spin one wheel the other will spin the OPPOSITE way. The other wheel will not spin at all with an open diff.

2 rubber strips = LSD

1 rubber strip = open or standard diff???

Dude you are wrong. If you have lsd they spin the same way.

I was able to spin BOTH rotors with my hand when it was just a subframe on my porch. That shows LSD.
