diff question

[matthewK]

this is probly a stupid question but
i wanna know, its just a standard dif on the front and lsd on the back
will the rear lsd bolt straight into the front?
or do you have to rebuild the front to be an lsd?

because im thinking i wanna put lsd in the front and put an air locker in the back

No the Diff centres are different sizes.

Just buy a front air locker and keep your rear lsd is the easy solution.

aparently the l.s.d from a pathfinder or navara (cant remember) will fit into the front diff, some blokes here have talked about it and im sure they will shed light all i due time.

an MQ LSD rear will fit if you change the PCD on the crownwheel bolts. pm MQHOON for this mod, he did it in his old gq shorty.

why not just put locker in front? save a fuck lot of effort and $

[matthewK]

i figure it be cheaper putting 1 air locker in rear and one lsd in the front or other way around

wouldnt it be cheaper to just put 1 locker in, instead of dismantling of 2 diffs?

but to put locker in the front, in you dont touch the rear diff..

[Beastmavster]

Anyway back to the point - a rear GQ diff will not fit into the front of a GQ.

Doing this is not an option for you - thus consider buying the locker for the front if you only wish to buy one locker.

as was said before a gq rear lsd wiil not fit the front. I however have a rear pathfinder lsd fitted to my front diff cost about $800 to get done professionally. (Alot cheaper than the $2000 they wanted for a air locker!!!) The limmo works great! maybe as good as a locker? hard to say. But if your gona get a air locker fitted, I strongly suggest it be put in the front and get the rear limmo serviced and tweeked.

The limmo don't work great if you have one wheel in the air... Which will most likely be the case with the front of a pootrol. Save you $$$ go a front locker. Don't be afraid to look at auto lockers either, they may be suited to your application - they may not be..

The rear end of a patrol is quite flexy and this is a contributing factor as to why the rear lsd is so effective. That is how I see it anyway.

Have you ever seen a limmo in action?
Mine still locks up with one wheel in the air!

i was told by a good fellow not to long ago that the GQ would be a weapon if i had an air locker in front and just rebuild the lsd on the back .
thats where i got the idea for all this in first place
