suzuki diff
i know there are lots of posts on here about the steel diffs but i just want to confirm what i have read, if i unbolt the diff housing out of a grand vitara (2000) it will bolt straight up to my mounts(v6 1995 swb escudo) and the ratios will be the same with the same side gears

Re: Suzuki Escudo
