LSD Diff

Post by BogBoy »

Right

Will a LSD diff head fit into a non LSD axle housing?

Will I just need to yank the axles out, Put the LSD head in and bolt it all back together?

Provided they are both "HG" type (233mm) and are the same ratios.
Easy swap over too.

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

Check the lenght of the axles, I got caught out . Bearings were seized on my factory locker diff so to save money & time I removed axles from a spare LSD & tried to fit them into the locker diff, wouldn't fit. Compared the 2 sets long side (lsd) too short & short side too long?!

Centre pumpkin diff. But do check the spline count on the half shafts.

an open diff carrier externally looks the same as a non lsd carrier, well the stronger ones do anyway.

i thought the same aswell when mine got taken out. but mine was only open, just about caught me out i though i had the wrong oil in then diff......
