Do you suspect something is wrong with it? I've honestly never heard of a DSMer rebuilding their stock rear LSD.

Just a wild guess, but ill bet your Cobra has a cluch type LSD, they where out and need to be rebuilt over time.
DSM's have a Viscus Coupling unit, they eather work or they dont and afaik they cannot be rebuilt
BTW a Viscus LSD can tend to feel like a worn out clutch type lsd, because they suck

Cool, I won't worry about the diff. Maybe I'll look into replacing the sway bar bushings and end links. Then I'll see if the alignment shop brings anything else to my attention.

Thanks,

Travis

Re: Rebuild LSD? Bushing replaced?

while your at it, you shoud upgrade to polyurethane sway bar bushings, I think both Energy Suspention and Prothane make them.
You must make sure all surfaces that contact the bushing are very clean and thoughly lubricated or else they may squeek
