1983 240GL | B230FK + M90 to come

[Marc1970]

Hier een hele bladiebla over LSD's en ALD's: http://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~amh110...o_dana.htm

Over het waar te zoeken/vinden blijft het vaag:
240 (rear wheel drive) - The ALD was introduced in 1993, the final year of 240 production, as a factory installed option.
Reportably fitted to the '240 Polar' but for a typical 1993 240 it may not be fitted.
740 - In 1993 the 740 (rear wheel drive) was replaced by the new model 940 (rear wheel drive).
940 had ALD fitted to the 1041 diff with a standard solid axle. The 960 had a ALD on the 1045 Multilink IRS (independant rear suspension). Later in 1996, the 960 had the 1065 on the Multilink MkII (nil on 1055).

How to tell if the junkyard Volvo has an LSD ? - first indicator to look for is a small metal tag (Use LSD oil) attached to a bolt on the diff cover. To mechanically check, you need to jack the whole rear end of the car up so both rear wheels are just off the ground. Rotate a wheel by hand looking whilst looking at the other wheels rotation. If both wheels rotate in the same direction its an LSD, if they rotate opposite each other its standard.
For a running car, you can just do a short quick wheel spin in the dirt and then check for two equal tyre/tire marks.

Ik denk dat het heel erg verschilt per land/markt, ws. gaven Nederlandse Volvo rijders geen drol om hard wegrijden en bijvoorbeeld Amerikaanse klanten wel. Dit lijstje van TB lijkt me gelden voor de USA: http://turbobricks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5003193
Ik kan me voorstellen dat ze pakembeet op de Zwitserse markt meer interesse hadden in netjes wegrijden bergop of over sneeuw, import Volvo's lijken me een goed begin.

This might not be correct, but, this is what I have found in Volvo Specifications.

I am starting with 1991 model year as that is when the lockers first appeared.
