I have some worn teeth on the drive pinion & ring gear of my front differential (aka diff.)
Since there are so few ferozas for used spares and buing directley from daihatsu is comiting financial suicide i started looking for parts from other cars that can fit.
anyone here knows what can fit ? maybe toyota or other lite trucks ?
Where are you ron? I might be able to find you one....

I just had a horrible thought... Ron... you didnt just happen to buy the Roza... its not Marroon with 31's is it??? I heard there was one getting around with a rattle in the front diff a few months ago... Paul?!?
And Paul... have you got a spare centre? If Ron dont want it I might know someone with a welder that might...
Heh... that would be funny... check for cracks in the timing belt cover and cracked engine mount... could be the one...
I haven't got one but I know were to find one... don't know the cost though...

Couldn't have been worse then when i sold my Feroza, it had a nice 2"x1" hole in the housing where i spat parts of the diff through it.
I'm not from down under - I'm from Israel (small country - big problems ) and the Roza certainty has a problem from the drive pinion & ring gear - grinding noise at low speed , small bits and metalic looking dust in the diff oil.
What is that welding thing you sugested ? and how does it efect road handling ?

(Do)ron dont forget that up here (Israel) the IFS is the rigid type...
no lock hubs for us... so the road handling will be very bad.

There are some full time 4wd ferozas round the world... no locking/free wheeling hubs and they have a centre differential... I think this is what is meant.

Kent (Toyhatsu) has one in USA.
Our Rozas aint full time 4wd... we just dont have lock hub and no centre diff. cause my english is very poor... go to FS-2 and see...

no auto no nothing. the IFS shaft is rigid with wheel. my front diff is running at 2wd too... what is the price for locking hubs down there?
oferoza
So it's full time 4wd huh wierd
Sheesh, is it so hard for the aussies to understand?
No locking hubs, just a drive flange connecting the wheel hub to the axle shaft. A normal 2wd/4wd t case, disengaging 4wd by selecting 2wd in the transfer case, removes drive going to the front diff from the motor, but still receives drive enduced by the rotation of the front wheels.
Prolly pick up a set of AISIN manual locking hubs about $50 AUS second hand, these hubs are common and strong.

god does this question ever end? no.... there are NO lockers...... NOTHING! not even custom... we've had so many people come onto here thinking they could provide custom lockers but never produce the goods.... honestly this is just me but i'm sick and tired of getting my hopes up about lockers and having no one produce the goods... only way you'll get lockers on your roza is if you replace your entire driveline! sas the bitch and slap on some yoda axles with lockers provided for them.

This english thing will kill us. we are talking about locking hubs. that on off "switch" in middle of front rim OK and about custom diff lock... send me some photos of the rear shaft (if u have drawing or fully dimension its fine too ) and i promise to produce the goods... at list to me
i could take some pictures under the truck if thats what your asking? what exactly are you looking for? the shafts that go into the diff front and rear or what??? i'll see ifi can help you out.

Is your Avatar the picture of your truck???
Cause if it is, then it is an Aus. Rocky.
My first truck was one of those hard top Rockys.
And to answer your question about lockers, yes there was a limited production run for the Aus. Rocky (provided that is your truck).
when i write "speaking of locking hub..." i mean that the following
question will be about locking hubs. the little thingy that you turn in the hub of the front wheels in order to connect them to the front shafts.
the feroza workshop manual has a all chapter written only for that but i haven't seen lokcing hubs here so i'm asking if any of you saw it ?
) and the Roza certainty has a problem from the drive pinion & ring gear - grinding noise at low speed , small bits and metalic looking dust in the diff oil.
So does it have a solid front axle like our Aus. Rockys has down here?
