iam not surprised something broke lol,but you would expect the cwp to go first.bad planning on my behalf,if i realised how far the spec of the car was going to end up,i would have gone for a 9 inch diff.

i would need to change the rear beam to fit a bigger diff,(zoo)and if i was going to do that then it would be 9 inch time.fit and forget.

hi lloyd

if you do go 9" you will need 2wd beam /2wd driveshafts you can still use your 4wd trailing arms/ anti roll bar /brakes/hubs ect

can get you a brand new 9" diff with 3.62 cwp / uprated Viscos Coupling 600Nm for tarmac

cheers marco
