Toyota LSDs are only good for about 20 000k before losing their effectiveness (flame suit on). Cranking up the preload makes them work better, but an LSD in the front can have some serious handling problems, and are generally not recommended. Understeer and funny tyre wear might result.

Not really worth the trouble, can get a cheap 2nd hand lockright or somethin similar, for price of getting LSD shimmed up or repaired, and would then have a true locked diff.

ive just fitted a lsd into the front of my fj40 and its awesome yes steering is heavy but offroad its great for whats around melbourne and thats mud

only driven a little bit offroad and find it fine tho i tend to use 2wd with the hubs locked in as it makes the steering lighter dunno it might just be me

im about to do a 60 series power steer conversion ill let yas know how the steering is with power steering
