LSD
LSD
I want it in my w123, these one wheeled burnouts are lame, and more than once I've almost gotten stuck turning right out in the country if the rear passenger tire isn't on the asphalt and just spins in the dirt. That being said, what can I do? I know there was an uber rare lsd option for the cars that I'm sure I'll never see, so what are these funky lsd things I've seen added to the differential in other threads? Or am I just gonna have to deal with open diff?

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
If you weld it be sure to use solid core wire with gas, otherwise the spatter will kill your operational gears

its strange that you americans havent got LSD in your differentials :/ you value electric windows, leather and AC while the europeas only value LSD... the differential, not the happy drug.
both 3.27, 3.06, 2.82, 2.65, 2.47 and 2.24 exists as LSD over hear. althou they are expensive if you isnt buying a car, they isnt anywhere near as rare as over the pond...
i think welded diffs are a nightmare, to go from welded to LSD is as night and day, damn it feels good to be able to make quick turns at slow speed without the tires sqeeking and draging like hell.
Electric windows and air conditioning are pointless in my opinion, I would rather have lsd, it seems much more useful
It would probably be easier to retrofit something different. I have an 06 GTO diff that I aquired a while back, its got kinda similar mounts but with a little fab work would fit. Id just have to frankenstein the gto and merc axles together. But that would just be a machined sleeve that I would weld between the two (we aint talkin big HP here LOL) and then get them balanced.
You could probably use about anything you could find at a junkyard. The Ford diffs are easy to find and 20 different types of LSDs are available from Summit for cheap.
Or you could just weld the diff. But I think my 240 would just stall turning corners
very interesting swampmonkey... did any of these same euromobiles get manual steering too? i like what you said about the preferred options, us americans are stupid.
256 from 01.11.1965 to 30.11.1991 REAR AXLE WITH LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
Of course! Power steering had to be ticked right until '82 I think. But it's rarely NOT been ticked, though. And isn't that much nicer to drive, the steering's still "dull" and unresponsive. Neutral scrub radius saying hello
I want manual steering and LSD, that would be awesome

Where do I get one of these LSD thingies? like half way down the page, and how does it work?

Those LSD packs wear and break, even though Kleeman sells one. It's a lot more money but a Quaife comes with a lifetime warranty, even if you race! You can find 123 compatible lsd's on 116's pretty frequently.
very interesting. as nice as it would be to have the quaife, how to ID which 116s have such a diff?

If you guys want to really do this find the appropriate 210mm differential to fit into a w123 from another car like Winmutt suggested and put the Quaife in it. This is what I am going to do with my wagon eventually. No question. The stock lsd units suck and the cost to rebuild one in parts is pretty high. I think that any early w116 and up 210mm differentials with gear ratios from 2.7- up to 3.07 are compatible with the QDF5v. I would have to go back and double check all the epc cross reference numbers. This is how I ended up using this unit in a w124 is because it was listed for the 500slc. The carrier is the same for around 20 years until the late 90's. I have done many installs and driven hard with these units. They are worth every penny and as already stated do not wear out and have a lifetime warranty. Not that you are going to need it. They used standard gear oil and the lock up is variable from 0-100%.
Does Quaife sell LSD kits or do you have to buy the whole diff?
BTW, I believe that the 6.9 is the only W116 to have come with limited-slip. Not terribly easy to find -- I have dreams of finding a low-mileage rustbucket 6.9 that I can rob the diff out of and make $1000 on by selling the engine .
Also, is there a way to tell whether or not a diff (say, in a 560) is LSD without blowing it open?

(11-01-2013, 07:25 PM)Jooseppi Luna Does Quaife sell LSD kits or do you have to buy the whole diff?From what I've seen they only sell the diff centres, but then you're looking at about $1500 even for that, Quaife stuff doesn't seem to have very high recommended power ratings for what you pay.
If you can't afford or find an LSD I'm pretty sure you can get solid spools that can fit in your diff, it'd only cost a couple of hundred & it saves you from potentially destroying an otherwise decent diff.

worked good for me, althou the 2.47 was a tad to high geared for the gearbox.

I would love some LSD action! Especially since I offroad my car and quite need it! I have the 2.88 diff in mine also but something 2.7-ish would be even better
Why not install a diff from another car? There should be plenty of jap cars with LSD's or aftermarket units available. The hard part is finding something with the right ratio. I know Nissan diffs are out of the question as theyre quite high ratio compared to a Merc diff.
If you find something with a ratio of between 2.5-3.0 then do let me know!
Its going to be pretty hard. The easiest option I can see would be a 2.79 from a BMW e36.
Im more tempted to go down the custom route and get some gears made up. This would enable me to go with any diff I want and have exactly the ratio I want. It shouldnt be too expensive either, there are only 2 gears that need to be made.
Wow I can't believe all of the replies talking about welding the gears up. All I have to say is that this would be a silly idea on a street driven car, not to mention an IRS equipped one. It is hard enough on a solid axle to turn and maneuver with a spool, but on an IRS car it is brutal on the half shafts and rzeppa (cv) joints. Just setting up an IRS limited slip too tight is difficult on parts, and the diff still has slip built in (100 ft lbs or more). Get yourself an LSD and do it right.
