hey guys i got a mate whos got spare diff centres and hes going to lock them so we've been talking about dropping the diffs into my sierra to give me a better low range gearing. just wondering whats involved in swapping centres? wether i have to take all the bearings and axles out?

cheers guys

the vitara front diff is alloy, so weak as piss. the rear one wont fit in a sierra at all as it is a different size.

the only thing useful is the ring and pinion from the front diff.

talking about actual centres yeah? not housings,,,

i believe the carrier is also alloy. Its not worth stuffing around when you can just use the sierra diff centre with the gears from the vit. the rear one is no good for anything sierra though

oh okay it all sounds a little complicated for me to do haha was thinking it might be an easy install

I believe that Ninjadaniel runs the Vitara Alloy 5.12 centres in his Sierra (Front & rear). Not sure if he has broken them or as to how much 4wdriving he does though.... Might pay to PM him
