ive got a 4x4 diff on mine (lsd) but sometimes it only lights up one wheel

sometimes it works properly n they both go as they should, but other times its as if theres no LSD in there!


is this just the signof a worn/loose diff?

also will a 2wd diff be a straight swap for the 4x4 item, as i quite fancy having the larger (stronger?) diff

it will just be a tired old VC jim it will be needing an overhaul.

to fit a 2wd diff in your car you will need 2wd shafts beam and output shafts...prob not worth the expense for what your after..... i used to run a 330 bhp 2wd cos powered xr4x4 track car with a 4x4 diff with no probs

Jim Galbally

okies ill get me another 4x4 diff then.

any ideas how mucha new one is, or a rebuilt one (save me putting in a knackered one)

Jim, i`ll sell you a complete 2wd back axle (as it comes out of the car) for Ł200, calipers/handbrake cables etc.

POPEYE

sounds a good price

Jim Galbally

sean, the brakes n beam would be useless to me tho i've got a omplete 4x4 cossie rear end, diff, brakes, the lot

i can get a replacement (2nd hand) 4x4 diff for pennies

Jim 2wd rear diffs can fetch Ł200-250 so thats a blindin price

Jim Galbally

shit didnt know they were that pricey!!

RSrussell

good ones fetch that easy

Jim Galbally

here's a thought... is there anything i can do to help it out at all? maybe replace the oil or something... as its getting a bit annoying now as it's difficult to showboat the car

bert

jim new diff in the region of Ł500, buy a S/H XR4x4 diff and have it reconed then replace yours.

Ginge !

thats a fooking blinding price mate

JohnnyB

Mine rear diff is fooked as well but finding a S/H which works correctly is proving a problem..

I could have bought a brand new one for 250, but Tiff from interford got it first

Stavros

Its also the fact std LSDs are not very good, they dont have much lock at all compared to aftermarket ones so you will often only spin one wheel.

They limited slip diffs, not no slip diffs.

Change the oil and I think Ford have a special friction modifier that is supposed to be used whith all they're LSDs.
