Same goes for the front centres, they're the same too.

Rear is RD135 and front is RD136.

IIRC it depends on what GU your puting them into!
A mate had his gq ones which needed a part to be changed to fit a GU.
Something along those lines :oops:
could be wrong tho :D

If your swapping to/from a ute with leaf suspension i'd say they would probably be different. The diffs in the leafs look heaps bigger than the coil ones.

Yes sorry, I should have mentioned that.

The only difference in rear diffs is that there are the big (H260) versions on utes (leaf and coil version) and in some wagons (petrols).

Now all the "small" rear diff lockers (H233 diff I think) are interchangable.

The bigger ones wont fit and vice versa for the smaller ones.

Front will not fit in rear and vice versa.
Front axles have 31splines and rear have 33splines.

I don't know if there is a difference between coil and leaf big diff.

As far as I know the "big" (H260) diff has 35 splines.

Also depends on what model Arb locker it is! as the early ones don't swap straight over, (on the front )
I cut the ends off my GU axles to fit a GQ locker in,
(well it was a modified MQ rear locker)
there is a center spacer that can be removed to correct this issue,
