diff gear wear Q,s

Post by swamp »

G,day all
I was wondering if it is possible to accertain if a diff gear set ( CW+P )
is suitable for hard locked use by looking at it. Sure if it has obvious damage we can all recognise this , but more in relation to the number of
km,s and the amount of normal wear thtough the case hardening. I have given up on fancy aftermarket gear sets because they are not as strong given the lower ratio , and also have high set up costs. If I now break a
CW+P I can purchase a second hand open centre and just install the locker. But how do you pick one that is on its last legs.
Cheers
out of my mind, back soon.

if u can get the gear set in the center still ... spin it around and make sure all the teeth are worn exactally the same ...

The diffs are stock rover 3.54
They started making 3.54,s in the early 70,s so theres heaps about and cheap . I have a few early 10 spline centers but I am unsure if the gear sets are good enough.
