 Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 5:02 pm Post subject: Not so good LSD |
 |
|
| My ef xr6 has a not so good LSD. I drive it slow but when i do put my foot down round a corner it usually goes one wheel. It doesnt feel to tight anymore. Any suggestions on what to do? Can i get som special oil - i am sure that normal oil would not be enough to fix this. |

| the problem might not be in the oil, but the fact that the diff may be shot? might be in need of a recon - what kms is the diff up to? does it get thrashed? |

| mini-spool is not practical for everyday driving as a rule. as for a recon - ?? i know you can get a reconed 3.45 LSD thrown into a car for about $1100-$1200 or so, depending on the place... |

My experience - Place in Sydney's west do second hand diff's (3.45:1 LSD) for $650 with 6 months warranty. He swears that all his diff are in good condition and thats why he offers 6 months warranty.
As for all new internals (using your existing centre, axles, etc) I know a place in Sydney's east that can bring it back to new again - all new bearings, gears, crown, etc. original 3.45:1 specs and oils and remove and replace with warranty for around $1000 or around $1200 for new ratios (i.e 3.90:1) This is basically a brand new diff with existing casing. |
