There are numerous ways. Easiest way is looking under your trunk liner, on the left side, you will see a sticker with a bunch of codes on it.... Just have to look for "G85" and you're golden.

Another way you can tell is if both your front tires are off the ground (jacked up), spin one tire, if the opposite tire spins the same way, you have an LSD. If it spins the opposite way, you don't. Good luck!

Not always true, I don't have LSD and I've put 2 tire marks down numerous amounts of time.

If you can see the label on the top of the trans it also has LSD on it if it has one. The trunk label is the easiest, but only the tire turning is 100% accurate.

1) You're canadian; Canadian cars were all "export" RPO 'Z49' cars

2010 'Z49' Cobalt SS = all have LSD

There were no factory options for 2010 Canadian destined SS's;
The only factory option for USA destined 2010 SS's was the LSD.

fair enough?

You can also run your vin through this website:

Comprehensive Chevrolet, Saturn, GMC, Hummer, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Geo, Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, Chrysler, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda Truck, Mercedes VIN Decoder

And see if your car has the RPO code G85 for the LSD.
