Cruiser diff into MQ Patrol
Cruiser diff into MQ Patrol
The reason being for the 4.1 ratio. the best i can get is 4.3 and do alot of hway kays.
Both are off set diffs, so may be okay.
Wheel bolt pattern is the same
what about:
Tail shaft bolts ?
Brakes lines, etc ?
spring widths ?
track widths ?
Any one done it before ?
any one want to donate a rear diff cheap?
Who feels like getting out the tape measure ?
May work the other way too, as a MQ patrol diffs are 4.3 or 4.6 std and are cheap as chips.

2nd the GQ diff idea,but MQ also came out with 4.8's aswell,
if you are handy with a welder, why not just add spring saddles to
your existing mq difs some trailing arms & a panhard rod,you could
get all existing arms & rods off factory junk at any wrecka,then tak in the brackets.

leaf sprung gq diffs bolt straight in steering and all
and a gq cw&p will fit the small rear diff or run a h260 with gq gears.
people almost throw away both of these parts

What can we do for the front. Although, cant remeber the last time i locked the hubs in
A bit confused atm with diff models, been a long week and screaming kids arent helping
searched a bit more
I think i know of a gq front diff sitting round for a trial fit into a spare MQ housing i have here
Looking like i may be able to find a 4.1 match for the front out of a 720

MQ/MK rear diffs have the same spine counts as the GQ fronts do.
The mq and GQ rears and gq fronts are the same physical size but different spline counts between rears...
so basically,
You can bolt a gq front centre into a rear mq housing/axles and you can bolt a MQ rear centre into the front GQ housing/axle/CVs
But an MQ rear centre is not interchangeable in GQ rear housings.... or visa versa.....
rear to rear is a no go due to axle splines. you cant change the axles over because gq diffs are wider....
mq fronts are a completely different diff.
if you change the mq rear into a gq front you need to do a knuckle swap to bring the tie rod to the front of the diff instead of the back as gq fronts are high pinion and mq rears are low pinion....
also the gqs only have 4.1s, most mqs have 4.6s so you will need to ensure correct ratio changes.

Pongo call me if your confused and I'll try and confuse you a little more....

I was thinkin of puttin GQ front diff under mine but aren't they a wider track? if they are they shouldn't bolt straight in. Plus the Mq has a wider chassis so wouldn't the springs not line up? I mainly want a GQ front for extra track width...and the cv's
