IIRC there was only a rear LSD available for Feroza's. Can't swap it into the front as the front diff is smaller.

Whilst you have got it out have the thing overhauled as they loose spring pressure over time and get more slip.

You should be able to have it shimmed tighter the stock to get more drive, but the clutch plates will wear a little quicker - there's always pros and cons.

I think meece from NZ has one in his - perhaps PM him to see what he thinks of them.

Still if you cant lock it a good LSD is better than nothing.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Leon tracked one down in Sydney a few years back when the two of us were hunting for them. Sadly it had some dodgy work done to the clutch plates so neither of us ended up buying it.

the F300 Fez LSD's ...work great up untill the time you *really* need it :lol: mind you the clutches are a bit shagged in mine now and could do with a reco, but ive found that it works about as well as the Holden Rodeo LSD'ed 4x4 that I drive as a work truck. better than nothing but carefull driving will get you just as far as a LSD any day. :cool:

Thats the problem with clutch LSD's. Toyota used to recommend applying the handbrake to assist them to work.

If they're anything like the toyota clutch LSD's the clutches wear very quickly. They can be shimmed up for tighter operation but hen they start exhibiting spool like charateristics - dragging tyres and wet road drivability issues - and they still won't "lock"

IMHO LSD's are employed by manufacturers of commercial vehicles to assist drivability when all the wheels are on the ground (they counter the poor traction caused by very stiff rear springs). they are not there to drive the car with one wheel in the air.

I believe the patrol LSD is excellent but it is of a different design and "ramp loads" so the bigger the difference in wheel load the harder it bites.
