steel diff housing wanted vitara

[tara13]

Anyone know where i could get a steel front diff housing for a vitara . I blew a hole in a alloy one on sunday so took spare one out today only to find crack in same place as first one broke so then had to raid vitara number 3 .Need to give diff a clean and hope it is not cracked as well .So will look to replace with a steel one soon.

te puke parts world have some from a grand vitara, i spoke to them today about one for myself and they want $1300.
i think thats for one with your diff internals swapped into it to give the right ratio.

its probably cheaper just to put a lux diff in

Haven't priced them up, but contact 4WD accessories in CHCH for a price on the calmini anvil housing. This is a purpose built steel front housing that is set up to run two short-side axles, so you don't have to have different lengths.

List is $US630, and Nick can price pretty competitively, the only thing I'm not sure of is whether they will work without a suspension lift. I'd suggest you see if you can find anyone that's tried one here in NZ to see how good they are.

Because every parts seller knows how sought-after the steel housings are they always seem to want $1200 to $1500 just for the housing. They only came out on the V6 manual Grand Vitara and XL7 from what I can gather. That could make the Calmini unit a good option if it will fit your truck.
