what type of rear end?

ok so im not sure what type of rear end i have i think its stock but not sure. im also not sure at what type of rear end it is as far as posi or limited slip. what i do know is that the number on the diff is 22522676 and that when i jack it up and turn the wheels by hand one spins one way the other spins in the opposite. its been a while since i did anything with rear ends so what type is this. ok i'll stop rambling thank you for the help.

Re: what type of rear end?

posi and limited slip is the same thing. if you spin one and the other goes the other way its OPEN differential. posi=LSD (limited slip differential). open diff will give you the ol one wheel peel. you got yourself a peg leg, you can get an LSD from 100-300 bucks. chances are its stock. idk why somebody would pop in an open diff.

Or a non-functioning limited slip. Check the following FAQ for more info:
