Okay so this is sort of a Suzuki question as I have lux diffs in my zook.
I have a welded front diff and an open rear centre, I have bought an air leaker and was wondering if someone could tell me if the front and rear centres are interchangeable, as I would prefer the air locker in the front rather than the back.
Thanks in advance for the help

and you'd prefer the Welded diff in the rear???

[turbo_deo]

More than the front, will only be for a short while until I get another airlocker

[stocker]

i see...


i'd still put the thing in the back... at least your axles will thank you when you put the 2nd Locker in the front

Front and rear lux diffs are interchangeable....

Thanks shep I'll check that out after all the outgoings for the bills are paid and see how the funding is looking

I just bought a pair of ARB lockers in 4.88 centres (one a hi pinion) for $1500.... A mate bought just an ARB locker for $250..
They are around AND cheap if you look hard enough....

Is there any advantage to a high pinion diff? I picked up my arb new in box for 800, I have been looking for a second cheap one

[turbo_deo]

Other forums, i found mine by googling arb hilux locker

[appsie]

High pinion raises the tailshaft and gives a lot more ground/rock clearance....
80 series use hi pinion front standard....

Hi pinion was designed so the gears use the stronger 'drive' side when placed in a front diff moving in the forwards direction. Placing one in the rear would mean you would be using the weaker 'coast' side when going forwards.
