diff swap questions

Post by Liam »

Swapping a pair of gu 2.8 diffs into gq ute. got a couple quick questions;

Are the free wheeling hubs interchangable?

looks like the draglinks have different balljoint tapers?

The guy wrecking the car reckons they came from a 6 cylinder turbo diesel (but definetly not a 4.2) this can only be a 2.8? he swears it had 3.0l on the block...I believe in a gu td , 6 cylinder was only ever 4.2 or 2.8= making these 4.625 ratio?
