Just kidding!

You know you're a real "Brick Head" when you see a subject line of "700 Rear Ends" and you instinctively know the topic of discussion is solid axles.

Just an observation.

'93 945 Turbo ( one kickass family car ! ), '92 Mercedes 190E (my daily driver), '53 Willys-Overland Pickup (my snow-plow truck/conversation piece -- sold to a loving home), '85 Jeep CJ-7 w/ Fisher plow

The only model of 700 series car which may have come with LSD would be the 1991 740T, which may have been equipped with an Eaton locking rear end. A locking rear end accomplishes the same thing, but is not the same as a Limited Slip Differential.

No 700 series cars came with an LSD. The LSD was only a dealer installed option in 700 series cars. They can be identifed by jacking on tire up an trying to spin it. The orignal LSD kit contained a tag (which was to be installed inder a differential cover bolt), which identified the the LSD installation and special lubricant requirement.

In the US, later 740 Turbos (88 on ?) had lsd and all 700 and 900 from 92 (maybe 91 on). You can tell from the label on the rear left side of the axle, but they are usually gone or covered. FAQ I think has info.
You can also do the jack rear end turn the tire test.....

All 1988-1990 760 sedans, 88-91 780 coupe, 1991 940 SE , all 960 sedans. The wagon versions of these cars and 83-87 sedans have the solid axle found on 740/940. Because less large parts moved under the car, IRS vehicles had a larger 100 litre fuel tank vs the 80 litre taks in solid axle cars.
