You need 2 front diff third members from almost any vitara. (Anything except 2.0's and carby autos)
the third member and diff centre is useless, only the gears are any good to you.
Remember if you are running a open centre or locker what still uses stock cross shafts, you need to retain the shafts with a sleeve over the centre - vitara R&P are a little bit bigger diameter and the cross shafts can walk out and fit the pinion.

Precision CNC machined parts make this kit the best on the market. This retainer sleeve and bearing adjuster are needed for installing Suzuki Sidekick OEM gears into a Samurai carrier. You will also need the retainer sleeve when installing aftermarket 5.38 Gears. The reason for this is the cross pin in the carrier is held in by the ring gear. With the thinner Sidekick gears and aftermarket 5.38 gears, this is no longer the case. No welding or machining is required for the installation of this kit.
Price: $35.00
