80 Series REAR Diff - What to replace it with?
Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:07 am
Hi All
Just had an ARB Locker basically fall apart in the rear of my 80. Wasn't even being used off road at the time.
Not too happy. Big chunk of metal rod came out of the locker and damaged the crown wheel and pinion.
Big prob is can't really afford to replace with another locker immediately as have just purchased a house.
I am looking for a 4.1 ratio Diff for the rear. Is LSD the better option? Or all thats available?
Should I be looking at a cheaper locker rather than the ARB?
Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
