Ok, have read a thred about this but I have a question, do I need a front and rear? or two fronts from a Vit/Escudo.
Cheers Al.

Front 3rd member from a vit will bolt striaght in , think from memory that you have to change the side gears for the front axles.

However I would be inclined to install the vit ring and pinion into a samy steel housing instead if the alloy vit one, to do this you need a retianing rIng/ can to retian the side gear shalfts as the vit ring is larger than the samy one

Hope this makes sense, heaps if info on Aus zookers and Zuki world .

As ubz you will need to front diffs . I am pretty sure most diff's you will find will be 22 spline , later ones are 26 spline . This is in the side gears .

The vitara carriers are only 2 spider , I think all 413's are 4 spider and samurai rear are 4 and front 2 .

The ring gear is thinner in a vitara so the carrier is moved over when installed in a 413/samurai housing . I brought in a kit that had the spacer and retaining ring , seemed to go in ok . Next time I may try the budget way , penning the holes where the pinion shafts go in . If you need a better explanation let me know . Have pic's somewhere when I did mine .

Cheers
Chris

Yeah, just got to find another front diff but you know me I'll find one...........these bloody Suzukis just keep following me home

I've got room if you want; but that depends whether you want it back . You mean a vitara diff?
