Front wheel drive limited slip diff??

[Mischi]

I need to buy new axles. I was asked if I had a limited slip diff. How do I find out? I have a '00 I30. Any help is appreciated. Thanks/

Limited slip differential is standard in the touring model, optional on the base. Here is an info for a 99 I30 which may apply to your car.

On the base I30 model, the limited-slip differential (LSD) was an option. On I30 Touring models, the LSD was standard. Please confirm the correct type of differential on the vehicle before ordering seals for I30 base models. Check the model ID # (NOT the chassis #) at the ID plate on the firewall. The final 5 digits after A32EUA or A32EVA are the option codes. If the first digit is code C, P, or Q, then the vehicle is equipped with a LSD.

A quick way to confirm is to look at the vehicle info plate on the firewall. It'll have the VIN number as well as engine code (VQ30DE) and chassis code (A33) and what you're looking for: the transmission model number (RE4F04B or RE4F04W). The "B" is open diff and the "W" is LSD.
