I've got a complete centre rebuild kit here with new bearings, seals, pinion crush tube, the lot!

It owes me $130. I'll even post it for free.

Unless you know your way around a diff, I'd suggest getting someone who does do the rebuild... Otherwise, your newly rebuilt centre will be toast before long...

i too would recommend looking for a second hand one. generally speaking, suzuki diffs last forever as long as the oil is kept clean and topped up. i was quoted $540 for a rebuild (thats assuming gears themselves were fine. i ended up paying about a quarter of that including post. got mine from want33s, but i think i took the last WT centre that he had...

unfortunately there is no way to truely tell if a second hand diff is any good, unless it came from a good working vehicle. Wreckers will just look at the CW&P and determine its condition that way, even though most diff need to be replaced due to bearing wear (most of the time is undetectable by eye) and failure.

this is true, and i spent 2 weeks deciding whether the risk warranted the extra funds... eventually decided my finances didnt leave me with a choice... would be perfect excuse and time to throw in a locker!
