G'day all. First timer here so go easy on me OK !!
I just replaced the diff centre in my AUI 98 Fairmont Ghia but the bloudger is still knocking. It appears the problen is the propellor shafts that fit into the diff. After I put it all back together I noticed one of the shafts is loose/wobbly. Question: Where do I go from here. Is there someone around who sells reconditioned versions of these propellor shafts? Preferably in Sydney. Any advice greatly appreciated. |

IIRC auto skylines 3.9, r31 pintara 4.11. And skyline silhouettes had lsd's, but finding one that isnt shagged would be difficult.

plausible, all 3.7s I have fitted to my commodores and falcons have come from r31 manual skylines (as I have removed them myself)

I have a AU11 Fairmont Ghia and there is a tag on the diff filler but it doesn't mention anything about LSD but performance diff oil which doesn't explain much, considering it had traction control I would have thought a LSD wouldn't be needed

On the Diff link Elsewhere, http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11291903 , Jimmyd says 'had to order the Tickford Sports Supsension Option to get LSD.' but this is against the 'no option for LSD' as mentioned above.

Your diff housing will be a like for like replacement. Assuming you are talking about an IRS setup, your existing axles will be fine. Take your rear brakes off (hang the cliper from the spring), undo the top bolt of your hub assembly and use the hub (pivoting on the lower hub bolt) to yank the drive shaft out of the diff. Undo your tailshaft and then undo the three bolts holding the diff housing in. Swap diffs and reverse.
Some pics in my how to thread here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/vbporta...articleid=1143 Cheers Stu Edit: You will also need to undo the toe adjuster from the hub assembly so that you can use the hub as a fulcrum to pull the half shaft from the diff.

If your old axles are not noisy, I would leave them in and keep the 90K ones as spares. It does not take much room to store them. Just my thoughts.
Cheers Stu

My forum name is auIILTD, not auII or auIII. Please use Stu, as that is a name I happy to be used on the forums, hence how I sign off from each post. Axles don't wine, diffs do. Fish? Hydraulic engine mounts? Ok I am lost. On an AU? I do not believe there is a thread on engine mounts. This thread is about Differentials, not engine mounts. It is encouraged to use the search function of this site, rather than relying on those in the know reposting time and time again. If you cannot find an answer, then, please post a thread in the appropriate area asking if anyone has had the same experience. Please do not post your questions in threads not related to your question. Off Topic posts are contrary to this site's terms and conditions. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a PM. My final thought, given that forums use the written word, it would help if you could use some correct grammar (use of texting style abbreviatons of words is also against site T&Cs). It is very difficult for users to provide answers to your questions if the question is not really known. Here to help if you need it. Regards Stu.

Thanks STU had to lever axles out via abs sensor ring. The bolt that holds upper hub ? what is that bush called ? please. As the top one is definitely had it. Been searching, is it upper lateral ?? do they have to be pressed out/in? rear left is clunking, so best to change them, to prevent wear n tear. thanks again for you advice, definite made things clearer, enjoying a fresh LSD

I have a 3.08 in my au1 futura and want a 3.45 lsd, I can get an ef/el xr6 diff for $250 can i bolt this straight in and use 35mm adaptors to fit stock wheels with no other mods?
Or should i just pay $500-600 for an au xr6 diff when one pops up

Ended up buying a AU2 "low klm" 3.23 diff from the wreckers that needed a rebuild but results were worth it in the end, despite the expense. Cheers.

Hi,
Could you guys tell me if the the XR8 3.45 diffs are the same in both auto and manual cars? I need a new diff for my manual, I’ve located one but am not sure if it’s out of an auto or manual. Many thanks for any advice! Pete |
