Default Limited Slip?

I changed out both my front and rear diff fluids today with conventional fluid and I was somewhat concerned about the possibility of having a limited slip in the rear and needing a LSD additive.

I don't think i have the LSD but before I start really driving it how can I be sure I don't need to add the LS additive?




BTW this is a 1987 Laredo, no tow option.

Jack the rear end up and then turn the wheels if they turn the same direction it's got LS. Also below are pics of both open and LS carriers. The one on the left an open carrier, the one on the right is and LS carrier.

Thanks! For some reason I feel like I knew about the wheels turn the same direction trick.
