Rear Steer- flipping housing???

[evanstaniland]

Done a search and cant find exactly what im after, im putting rear steer in my bundy and havent had a great deal to do with setting them up.
seeing as the diff gets turned around do i need to flip the knuckles/housing? im a correct in assuming if i dont it will spin the wrong way in drive?

im using a 60 series diff

Cheers

The easy way is to cut the ends off a rear diff and weld the knuckles from the front diff on,no flipping or spinning required.You just need both housing,and measure twice cut once unless you want to get custom length inner axles made.

You should be able to turn the front diff (for the rear) upside down and bolt the centre in the right way up. You'll need to cut off the diff hat and turn that up the right way before welding it back on. The 3rd's have 10 bolts from memory? and should bolt straight up. You'll obviously have to cut and rotate the knuckles almost 180*. I'm assuming 0* of castor for the rear?

Further to that... If you are going for custom length inner axles, Mark at Gibson's Driveshafts can make a pair of chromoly inner axles for $600.

this has to be the smartest way to do it IMO

easiest way we have done it was to weld the tubes to a steel bench, cut both sides equal distance from centre, spin centre 180 degrees and rotate to achieve correct castor.

That diff is in Matt Whites sierra, and has had no issues.

I did this this other day, used a rear diff and put in 80 series knuckle on to get the bigger cv but the same will work for 60 stuff

not sure where the pumpkin is on your bundy ??? but doing it that way it may move it across???
