welded frt diff

Post by **4x4roza** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 9:12 pm

Knowing that diff lockers arent avalible for a feroza, has anyone welded up there frt diff, i am thinking of buying a spare diff and welding it up.
it will not affect on road performance but it will just make it hard to turn the thing when i 4wd

several guys have welded there front diffs but watch those CV's if you do.

does it wear them out fairly quickly

even though i'm no daihatsu expert, you may find that you will break CVs more when you weld the front diff.

i don't have a feroza, but i have been through 2 CVs with just 31" tyres and unlocked front diff.

yep its been done... Mike H welded front and LSD rear. Murray (Ferwoaza) has welded front diff.....

But as said, you'll blow the CV's if your not careful

i beleive the rear LSD is hard to find? what would one be worth?
would the rear LSD make the feroza heaps betterdriving through soft sand etc? (well i imagine it would, but how much so).

thanks.

murray was telling us 'bout how strong his roza was with the front welded at PUOSU, then the next day he did a CV driving some pretty easy stuff

you'll have to be heaps careful on the throttle, come off real quick if ya get any bounce

Yeah stick a bloody camera in front of me and see what happens!!!

That's the 2nd CV I've done, although I don't think the 4wd dougnuts I was doing 1/2 an hour before hand helped with the CV strength either...

The welded front is a lot better if your doing slower, technical stuff offroad, but no good on dirt road style driving, I just leave her in 2wd for that stuff now and only lock the hubs in if required.

A better option and something I may do if I get up some dosh, is have a chat to Sam about getting his traction control put in the front and/or back. More expensive, but infinetly better and there is no way you'll break a CV, and you can switch it on and off when required!

Murray... while your at it why dont you just chop and transplant!!!! do a SPOA and SAS....... :roll:

Nah, won't go that far with the Ferwoaza.

SPOA is illegal where I live unfortuately, and I'll have the 40 for more extreme stuff. The Ferwoaza is now a nice combination of road tripper, and semi hard core when required.

She's sporting some new shoes too in the form of 31" BFG muddies
