What Diff?

I'm the Italian owner of a 2nd hand Raw Striker.
I need to know what diff is on my car since I want to install a lsd unit...I thought it was an Escort english axle but I know that unit mounts 16 or 22 teeth half shaft while my shafts have 26 teeth...Could it be a Sierra 7 inch?

^ yep, could be lots of things

the english and sierra diffs are VERY different too, should be easy to tell the difference between those two

sierra is a self contained diff only for irs. it sounds like you have a live axle?

You have a Sierra diff.

ratios are 3.14 (very rare), 3.38 (rare), 3.62 (common) and 3.92 (common).

IIRC LSDs are 3.62 generally.

Worth checking as a change of ratio will alter acceleration and top speed
