Got a 95 Maxima (not sure of the model)

Is there any way to determine if it has locking differential or not? Need to replace axles, really looking to know this.

Look at the plaque on your firewall. It'll show the car's transmission model number. If it says "RE4F04A" you have an open differential. If it says "RE4F04V" you have a limited slip differential. LSD is different than locking diff, though. No Maximas have locking diffs.
