LSD vs Normal

What is the difference between an LSD and a regular diff?
I understand one is limited slip and one isnt, and that toyota LSDs are pretty much crap, but if installing a lockright or similar, is one better to go for than the other?

There is no physical difference between the housing etc... you have to pull the gears of and install them onto the new locker carrier anyway.

The lockright replaces the spider gears in a standard open diff. It WON'T fit into a LSD.

Why not you remove crown wheel from the lsd hemisphere and then bolt the crownwheel buck to the the lockright one so why wouldn't you be able to instal a lockright into it

Lockrights go inside the hemisphere, but as already said, wont fit inside a LSD hemisphere due to the different internals and disign to an open one.

not sure
but 60 series diff is interchangeable with early 75series diffs (when they had the 2H)
and i think 80 series is interchangeable with the later 75 series diffs (when they went small front diff and 1HZ)

A question about hilux's.
Do all the 4wd come with LSD? I couldnt find the sticker on mine but think it was removed to do the rust proofing.
Thanks

No not all come with the lsd, i had to shim 1.2mm either side of the lsd to make it work as well. Its easy to do but..

If you have a LSD rear & want a lockright in there - just swap the front & rear diffs....

Doesn't help when I go to put a lock right in the front though...

If you are going to put a locker in the front it would be better to fit an air locker. At least with the air locker you can turn it off so you can steer. I had a lock rite in the front of my 60series and it was a real pain of a thing to steer.

when you by your lockright yo have to specify if it is for LSD or open, and whether it is for a 2 or 4 spider gear. the 4 spider lockrights are nuch much stronger, so get one for your LSD if you have it.
all that said, auto lockers are junk and cost more in the long run, get a driver operated locking diff (air locker, toyota, TJM etc) and you will save money and headaches.
