100 SERIES FRONT DIFF REBUILD OPTIONS
Hi,
Had a mate away with us on the weekend in a 100 series Cruiser and he blew his front diff. Anyone on here done the same and have any advice on stronger fixes than a standard rebuild?
I presume adding a locker to it will only transfer the forces to other parts but will it help to strengthen the diff at all? He has booked it in to be rebuilt at ARB next week and was wondering if there were any options for strengthening it.
We think he has busted teeth off the diff centre (crown wheel?) as it was effecting both front wheels and making nasty crunching noises after getting the wheels in the air over a rock step on a steep hill.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Mark

G'Day arb383,
Sorry probably should have mentioned that already. It is an IFS. Does the locker add any strength to the diff in these? If so what is usually the next thing down the line to break and is it cheaper than a diff rebuild?
Before i get ribbed, sorry i haven't had a chance to search yet as i'm sure a lot of this info is probably already in here. So thanks for the replies.

The 04 and later turbo diesel ifs diffs have 4 pinion (same as lsd) front centres in them to minimise this issue, a locker is also a solid centre, if you put the locker in witrh new gears, it will be alot stronger and the install will sort of make shelling out the dollars worthwhile, as the vehicle will become a real bush limo after that.

Installing the air locker (using a solid pinion spacer) and educating the driver not to spin lifted wheels should do it.MJP wrote: it was effecting both front wheels and making nasty crunching noises after getting the wheels in the air over a rock step on a steep hill.

those IFS front are certainly waek as piss a mate of mine blew his a few months back.
All he did was get one front wheel in the air with a bit of wheel spin and when it came back down the diff went crunch.
He stipped the teeth of the side gears and the spider gears, he also decided this was a great excuse to get a front air locker

Your 105 will do exactly the same thing, only that your wheels probably stay on the ground because of the better front travel.dinos4x4 wrote:those IFS front are certainly waek as piss a mate of mine blew his a few months back.

Dimensionally the 2 diffs are identical.
