They should both spin the same way!!!
Better test to see if your LSD works is to jack up one side only, and see if you can spin the wheel.
If it's really hard, or you cannot spin it - then your LSD is working!
If it spins freely, you have a single spinner or really badly stuffed LSD. |

|
|
I have ED Fairmont 5.0L Auto ( soon to be 347cid) with 3.7 LSD which now has too much backlash.
Want to change to 9" with about same ratio.
What is involved or is it too hard?
Anyone know of one in Perth?
Richie. |

I have an EF I6 GLI so I think I have a 3.08 or 3.23.
Call up a shop in Preston, one listed earlier and if I wanted to get built a 3.45 or 3.7 lsd, drive in drive out $1650 so I ask if there is a warranty?
There isn't one because its a performance item.
No warranty= no sale |

| Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2008 9:35 pm Post subject: Almost started new topic, ALMOST. 1990 LTD LSD into EF Wagon |
|
|
Oh shheeeez, here I am with a new brain wave... I have endless troubles with sqweeks and rattles and the like. If worse comes to worse I was going to put the Fairmont diff and brakes onto the Futura, along with shocks and any bushes that need renewing whilst I have it apart.
I have found this item for sale - $200NZ and have a funny feeling it could be too much effort...
FORD LTD 1990 LSD DIFF DISC TO DISC
It comes disc to disc with munro gas air shocks and drive shaft.
The brake lines have been cut --- But what do I care?!!!
I know it is a sedan and as such it has SPRINGS, not leafs... I want to know if anyone has done this before, if there's a cheap way of getting LSD into my wagon, I am into it. Know people who weld and I own a decent 180mm angle grinder so could take off whatever the springs connect to and put the leaf springs U-BOLTS over the axle instead...
| Sure, it's stockstandard... No, havn't changed nothing... wrote: |
As long as you get the same spline center you keep your axels. NF will have 28 spline. Get an LSD center from an ED or later and you should be safe (ford played silly buggers with 25 spline centers in ea/eb). |
You see - I couldn't just use the LSD centre from the EA LTD and attach axles from donor EF Fairmont Wagon and then put the lot onto my EF Futura Wagon... Hmmm... This car is getting mind boggling!...
So far the whole thing has cost less than $2000NZ so not doing too bad.
Or, I could get a xa,b,c lsd diff for less money, if that'd be easier!?! |

The same way?
Or, perhaps even stay close to stationary if you've got a squeeky wheel... |

I skipped a bit of this thread.
Was the difference between full spool and mini spool drive shafts explained?
They are different |
