Outer Limits 4x4 Board

rear diff has pretty much died. how much should i expect to pay for the fitting of a new 4.88 crown wheel and pinion +diff bearings? lsd is apprently undamaged.

keen to find out if my offer is reasonable

if your goin to so much trouble why not piss the lsd [due to yotas being so piss poor] n fit a locker of some variety instead

as for the crown wheel n pinion i paid about $450 from kotara 4x4 and the bearings shouldn't be to dear from a bearing mob

prices will vary on cownys n pinion due to there a cheapys n expensive brands

as good as it sounds, the crown wheel and pinion are going to cost enough as it is

any ideas on a decent price? it seems labour cost is making up a good chunk of the price

Buy another used diff from a reputable wrecker or someone on this forum and give someone a slab to fit it.

new gears, bearings and fitting should come in around $800 - $900 which is a fair bit of cash when you can get a used LSD 4.88 bundy diff from wreckers for $300 - $500.

OR you can get a 4.88:1 hilux diff from wreckers for $50 - $100, and just slap it in - or take both diffs to a shop, ask them to swap the gears into your bundy 3rd member with the LSD, labour and bearings should be around $300.

Have you tried Newcastle gearbox and diff.

Cameron street broadmeadow. Just round the corner from Anchors seafood,next door to Greame Morris Motorclyles.

thats 3finger joe who owns it (beach rescue) (newie gearbox and diff)

prices vary a lot...

1000+ for crown wheel and pinoin for factory toyota parts, down to around 500 for new parts made by other people.

have sort of decided to go with a CW and P from maxitrac and timken bearings unless anyone tells me something to change my mind. ends up around 700 in total
