It's time to replace my rear diff centre with a locked one.
I have the old shape vitara but the round dash.
The car has the newer style rear diff. Just wondering will any vitara diff fit in or do I need this model?

Any vitara 3rd will fit, but if buying a locker, you will need to confirm if you have a 10 or 12 bolt rear centre/ R&P

Thanks mate. Is there a major difference in strength between the 10 or 12 bolt?

I can't answer that sorry, but If I had to guess, I'd say the 12 bolt would be stronger.

Not sure what year model you have, but the closer you get to the SV models, (97 onwards) the more likely it is that you have a 12 bolt.

Same strength. Suzuki just went to a 12 bolt with the EFI motors.

Thanks a millions fellas.
Can anyone confirm if the older style axles will fit my set up.
I'm thinking it's going to be hard to find spares if they dont
