just in the process of trying to sort out my rear diff. ITs a LWB Pajero with SAS front 5 link front, 4 link a frame rear, twin lockers, blah blah blah. The car was formerly known as Frank Zanettis old car.
Anyways frank broke the rear left axle in the Pajero 9" diff and rolled the car and thats the way i bought it. Took it our for a half decent run on monday and was very impressed with what it could do until i then broke the rear right axle.
So with the tranny gears, 5.29s, 35"s and twin lockwers it seems this thing breaks the standard rear axles like no other. The diff itself is strong as, but the axles not so. The front hilux diff has longfields in it so theyre not breaking any time soon, but the rear end is just not up to the same standard.
The options are to either keep the Pajero diff and modify it, or throw something else under it, Price is a factor, but im willing to spend the money provided its worth it. Iv been speaking with Mark HArdman about doing a full floater conversion, time and money here are of the essence, but im willing if its the most viable option.
Other options include billet axles dfor the pajero diff, recut side gears for larger/more splined axles. The axles are 28 spline 30.5mm, so yeh not very large, the 3.5L V6 axles are 33.5, 31 spline. Other options include putting a hilux/cruiser 80# diff under the rear, but i know jack all about yotas.
any options or opinions are greatly appreciated.
cheers guys,
dean
