OEM LSD Kouki vs Zenki

Postby ras0ne » Fri Feb 19, 2016 3:57 pm

Hello!

I currently have an LSD that I'm selling on eBay and I'm getting a lot of questions asking whether it's a Kouki or Zenki LSD.

I have this LSD because I ended up buying two and my AE86 had Zenki axels. I just used the first LSD axels fit into, which was the first one I grabbed.

How do I confirm whether or not this is a Kouki or Zenki LSD without having axels to test fit into?

I know Kouki = 25mm axels and Zenki = 24mm, but how can you tell by just having the LSD? Are there visible sings\marking?

Tomorrow I'm going to try and measure where the axels go with a caliper and try to go that route.

Was just wondering if there's a super guru who knows a way to tell.

Thanks!

*** EDIT ****

Here's how I got the measurements.

Opened up the LSD.

Used my caliper to measure.

Guess this is prob the easiest way to figure it out.

The search feature on this site works well.

I've used the search feature, thus my post.

I appreciate the link, but that's an answer to a question I already know as stated above.

I know what size Zenki and Kouki axels are.

I'm asking if there are tell signs on the LSD itself that would identify it being a Kouki vs Zenki.

The axels fit deep inside the LSD so before I try to finagle some way to measure it, I was wondering if there is an easier way.

If not then I will find a way to measure and post my results on here for future reference.
