Hi all
Will a hilux diff centre fit in to an 80 series front housing ?
want to put coils in the front of my hilux using an 80 series front housing but want to keep my front locker and low pinion for clearance issues with my sump
Thanks
Gav.

I thought they were different, right down to one being hi pinion and the other low pinion

my question is regarding me wanting to keep my low pinion for clearance with my sump and the extra width and coils

well a 80 high pinion goes into a lux housing.. so u would have to say that it would work the other way around!

it will bolt up but it wont work because the tierod will hit the diff centre.

Put the locker in the hi pinion centre from the 80 housing. Same locker.

Can you mod the sump and pick up, shouldn't be too hard if you are doing a coil conversion.
Cheers

thats one option
Was hoping to get the tie rod arms re-tapered to sit above the low pinion

cross over steer dont fit the 80 diff as the tie rod is behind the diff
