hi, am after details about my 2.8 diff as im looking at getting a diff locka and have been getting mixed messages about my current diff as some say they are a type of lsd and other say are not and i cant get a locka for it due to its size 12 bolt?
anyone know for sure? cheers Nath

Best you take both off, drive it for a week then put the front one back on and see what you think.

thanks for the advice Glen.

for 10k you will be getting alot Pajero, you can get a good swb 2.8d-3.5p for under 4k if you look around (trade me).
they are cheap to set up for 4x4 and spare parts are cheap and easy to come by.
cheers Nath

thank for the help

I say leave it on if you are doing many road km. They behave a bit funny without them on usually gives a mid corner lurch. but you can throw the rear one away, it just rolls a bit more but it pretty predictable still. I will presume it is a Pajero since in mitsi section..... yeah its a pajero ...

I say asshole the front. I don't have one there and only the only saf's i've seen with them have been the soft (spirit?) 2.8 models (like yours ) usually accompanied by road tires and no flares. Mine handles fine. Like a truck (a really really old truck) but fine. thanks for the advice. cheers

im looking for some advice on disconnecting the sway bars on my 2.8 swb,have been given mixed advice from some who say remove both and other who say only remove the rear as removing the front can cause issue under braking on the open road. also any advice on some good shocks that would suit ...
