Wheel hop always rears it's head from a dig. It's pretty easy to invoke it if you know what to do - mash the gas from a dead stop and have an observer look to see tire shake. If you see it, you've got wheel hop. If the car just hooks and goes, you don't have it. I know what it feels like now, so I don't even need an observer.

I am working on installing the 36J LS460 F-sport diff on my 07 LS. I was wondering about the 2 rear diff mounts(cushions ) , do I need a press tool to remove or install it ?

I did mine with an air chisel. Seems to be the most common method. I doubt you'd find an easy way to do this with a press, there's no easy way to push on the outer collar.

To bad on my LS460 , I have to remove the subframe to get clearance for the diff mount ( cushion) . It's too narrow.

above shows that the Torsen diff was introduced in 8/2009.
Does this mean I have a 2009 with a torsen diff. Or would it have to be an official 2010 model?

Shoot a pic of your build sheet inside the driver's side door on the B pillar and I can easily answer this question. Or PM me your VIN and I'll look it up in TIS to see what you got from the factory.
