diffs heads

Post by pajeroboy »

well looked ar my front diff today and low and behold broken teeth on crown wheel and pinion,result from last trip,woops, so since i have to replace it was curious if a rear diff head with a factory locker would fit into the front housing? provided i use same ratios, would this work?

Sam you can get lockers for the front. i've seen them in a auzzy site about $1700 aus. ill have a look and see if i can find it again and send it to you. Good luck. front iffs are easy to pull out. after doing the VX

Sam is right - won't work.

But as red devil suggests you can get replacement diff centres. Pajero boy - you have a 2,5 from memory with a 5.29 ratio... That is the smaller diff and so the diff lockers red devil talks about won't work either. Not without alot of work.

Well done on breaking the diff. That is a pretty sound effort! :lol: Were you being particually severe in reverse as I'd be surprised if you broke it going forwards with the reverse cut high pinion gears.

yes you can get lockers to fit, but you cant get a factroy rear locker to fit in the front.
