Re: Maxidrive Locker Issue

Sounds like the vac diaphragm it is not pushing far enough to engage the splines. Pull the vac diaphragm off the diff and push the sleeve further towards the diff centre and re-test if proper engagement is acheived. I converted mine to +'ve pressure to solve a very similar issue.

Re: Rangie Power Steer Box, need advice.

Dead easy if you don't need to get the shafts out.
Seals are best pushed out with fluid pressure(read in car with engine running)
But air pressure works too.

Re: Rangie Power Steer Box, need advice.

Hi.
You are correct about the bolts on top. 3 = 3 bolt and 4 = 4 bolt.
4 bolts are slightly less problematic with leaking, but only slightly and I don't know why.
The power steer hose will need to be modified to fit a metric 4 bolt. easily done with brass adapter and olive.
No strength difference ...

Re: School me on air shocks :)

IMO:

Air shocks should only be used in a maximised droop suspension set up. ie 2-4 inches up travel and the rest droop/down travel. Perfect for slow rock crawlers, not so good for racers.

Air shocks work really well as bump stops because of the progressive pressure increase working against the ...

Just my OPINION.

For the little bit extra it will make it a lot easier to get a setup that will do what you want - vs one that is SH#Thouse - first up.

You become very limited with your ride height options if your out a little, else the springs will dislocate at droop.
