Re: 12 bolt posi ID
what makes you think it is a posi.. If you open the inspection plate you will be able to see if it is a posi or not.. But then again if you already did that then you know...

Re: 12 bolt posi ID
Can you tell what type of rear end just by looking at it ? Don't the covers vary? If so does anyone know what to look for?

Re: 12 bolt posi ID
Put the unit on jack stands or something. Turn the axle, if both sides turn the same direction its posi, if they turn opposite of eachother, its not.
