Toyota LSD's - are they rubbish?

[funkyflynz]

I was reading on an aussie 4wd forum that the toyoat LSD's only last a few 1000 kms, then after that are pretty much useless, certainly in my 216km hilux the LSD is either worn or not working.

Was thinking about putting a new LSD center in but now im thinking it mite just be a waste of money.

Yep they are junk, save ya coins for a locker

[Chopper01]

I have had no trouble with mine but you need to run the right oil in it or the clutch plates will all heat up and crap out

as it just so happens you sell them as well aye jafa


but yea locker is the best option but farken $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[J_Dub]

for the price, compared to a locker, they are good, i can dig a hole with both rears every time with mine, ya need pretty even weight distribution over both rears for them to work well, so work well when climbing etc, gets ya further, can pick them up for 2-$300. But yea nothings a sgood as a locker

By the time ya spend 4-600 on a pair of second hand lsd's, money for the right oil, you could have bought one autolocker, and be twice as capable

[Chopper01]

The last auto locker I bought was $750 form 4WD ACC , it is alot of money but they are worth it

Nope no reply from TG yet

Its cheaper to buy an ARB her in NZ than to get one in from the US. Our buy price from TG is fawk all cheaper then retail, then ya gotta ship it, pay gst, duty etc. Obviously TG dont get theirs from ARB at a very good price, hence our dealer price is no good.

We have no plans to sell lockers, although that may change, but atm we dont intend to.

So when can you do auto lockers

[arbhilux]

i cut a 2mm shim and put in my 1 it is just like a lock diff or just put a ( weldrite ) pull the old mig out and weld it up

[vvega]

the lsd's are rubbish
people shim them and .. there still rubish
the problem is .. as soon as you apply enough power to get over teh break away .. then turn back into a open diff

good for somethgin gutless.. but add some power .. and your stuffed

[Windsurfer0206]

whats the best oil for the toyota lsd? also for gearbox and transfer case?

[arbhilux]

well with the shim i put in it twins all day every day and i got a 1kz-te in my hilux

[vvega]

with a extra set of plates a double spring and a 3mm spacer i fry the shit out of one tyre with my uz
and i had no weight in the rear
now i have a locker and all is well

it would twin spin for a little while.. but under hard work of on petes track for 30 mins .. it woudl go back to been useless

morel : if you have one wheel in the air .. they will do nothing ... if you have both wheels on the ground they help a bit

[arbhilux]

who shim your diff then coz they must suck shit haha

[vvega]

who shim your diff then coz they must suck shit haha

i shimed my diff mate
and im quite happy to say .. your full of shit
as i said they work well for a bit .. but get them hot with a wheel in the air and they will do nothing

[arbhilux]

no wonder it dont work haha and u can drive lock diffs on the road and still get wof it gos right though vtnz testing in the front mayb you should try shiming your diff a diffrent way because its not what power you have its how good you are at working on diffs at the end of the day..... its not what u now its who u now at the end of the day when your getting wof because the whole land transport then a ####### joke.
