To check and see whether or not your front differential is broke where it plugs into the viscous coupling you needs to:
Have transmission in neutral
Have E-brake on
Raise car up on hoist
Now check and see if you can spin both front wheels easily in the same direction. Make sure you have the car in neutral and the E-brake on or this test won't work.
If the end snout is not broken viscous is working you will be able to spin them but it'll take quite a bit of effort.
If the end snout is broken it'll spin with ease.

Hey Jon, whats your opinion on the 05's lsd's? Are they strong as ppl say they are? Ive read somewhere that they are almost as strong as the quaiffe, this true?
We offer a 1 year warranty on them and can rebuild the unit for cheap if it ever wears out.

You guys offer the OE 05 LSD's now? I'm not a fan of clutch types in a daily driver, and have not looked to see what type the Ralliart is.

Could this type of failure be induced when launching the car off the apex berms at the track? This would send a shock load down the driveline even though a "drag" launch has not been done. Turn 15's berm at Thunderhill causes my suspension to bottom out if I hit it. It probably sends my front left wheel into the air too.
