When I've had I my wife's 03 OBW's rear in the air (brake job, putting synth fluid in the diff) I noticed that rolling the wheel on one side cause the opposite to roll in the same direction. Doing the same test on my 06 WRX wagon however, cause the opposite wheel to rotate backwards like an open diff. So, either they use different designs or one of them is not LSD or has failed. My guess is, my WRX has a viscous rear LSD and some different syle LSD in in the Outback.
