not sure how they go personally

but we cut the vacum lock centre housings out at work and put rangerover ends on for a guy here in palmy and his truck is a serious offroad machine

so they must be the goods

they are good but have a problem with stripping the gear inside so after a while it just keeps popping out under any load at all.

yes because when you change inbetween open, lsd, locked or whatever all you are doing is changing the center carrier of the diff (where the spider gears are) although dont quote me on expensive things :lol:

Is that the same for all diff's (Toyota/Nissan), I thought ARB could only be fitted to open diff's.
