What they said ^^
I have a 4.8 Rear LSD that will need a good home that could be handy for trading purposes....
This is vital to my health.... Cheers

Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
Hi,
I got a 4.8 front diff that i would swap
Don't know how many spiders it's got but going by the amount of cobwebs on it i'd say it'll have at least four
Cheers Richard.

Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
According to the ID tag in the cruiser I have 4.88 4 pinion diffs, I hope to remove the rear one this weekend coming as it has a leaking pinion seal and a bit of a whine. If it is a 4 pinion we could work out a swap of some sorts?

Smurf, I would be keen as but i need a front...
Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
Cruiser/prado, my bad. Mine has G144 diffs according to ID plate
By front do you mean you after a hi pinion?
As front and rear are interchageable in a lux?

I'd be asking him how he tells the difference?
If its an open diff then it'll fit as far as I know. I have swapped heaps of diffs in and out of my YN60 surf, and have never had any issues
My understanding is open diffs, 2 and 4 pinion are interchangeable front to rear, LSDs only fit the front if you shave the end off the axles. And hi pinion diffs are front only

Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
Sorry fellas but your not quite right
Right here we go.....................
Daniel wants to fit a Lokrite in the rear. He has a 4 spider Lokrite. He also has a Arb for the front. At the moment he has 2x rear lsd 4.8 complete diff heads from a Hilux. I know the housing and the carrier are the same but the crown and pinion ARE NOT.
When he gets his hands on a 4 spider front non lsd complete diff I will be able to put the carrier in the rear with the Lokrite and the housing, pinion and ring gear in the front with the Arb. This means that one of his complete rear 4.8 lsd diff heads can stay complete.
Ya with us

Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
sounds like you have a mixture of 4 spider and v6 4 spider units. C & P should still identical, with the exception of the bearings. Side bearings and pinion bearing are different.
LSD diff heads will not work (as you have found out)
I have 2 4 spider rear lockrited diff heads in my pos, both out of LN100 series turbo diesel surfs.

Front crown wheel on left, rear on right.

They have to be different otherwise pinion meshes on wrong side of teeth because rear spins clockwise and front anti clockwise.

Re: WTB Hilux 4 spider non lsd carrier
No, as Rok says for a std diff the front and rear are interchangable, can't buy front and rear C's and P's as they are both the same, it is only the high pinion that is different.
