Default 4x4 diffs

What power/torque are they rated at?

Do those strengthing plates actually do anything?

Any other options other then the expensive thick wall case and quaife ATB ?

What actually breaks them? the shock of a hard launch?

Cheers

So if you ever break one is it a flat bed home or are the drivable home (sorry if thats a silly question ) its just I remember smashing my RST diff and was able to drive home although I think I was one wheel drive

Paul - not think they are rated much if you like going to pod every weekend...

Don't count me on this but i'm sure only front uprated 4x4 diffs needs a thick wall casing

Honest answer here Pete.........I don't know!

I have not got a receipt for one in my service history folder so dunno...

Might have uprated ones and not know! Or on the other hand they might both be standard..
