Hi All.
After a long weekend replacing the front end's wheel arm section thingo, we've realised that my AU's diff is also gone, and probably worse than the front end's problem. Long story short, anyone know if the EF's diff will go straight in to an AU, as I have one down the back of the yard in the old car? Cheers. |

If they're both live axle then the centres are a direct swap.

Then you do have live axle (non IRS) so it is a straight swap of the centres.

Don't mind my lacking terminology. So we swap the centers, but keep the arms that the axles run through and re-attach them?

From now on, you should refrain from posting your opinion and presenting it as fact. Either don't post, or preface your post with something like "I don't know this for sure, but I think, or my mate has told me.........." Teknoslasher - when swapping the centres over, you need to ensure that the gears mesh/lap properly and there's no play etc, so if you're unsure what you're doing, it might be time to take it to a diff specialist to get the work done.

RG is talking about the internals when he refers to the "centres". You retain the AU axles but use the E series gears from the centre part of the diff. Good luck with the swap over.

And pulling apart is generally easy; it's the putting back together I sometimes struggle with.

don`t forget to check if the ratio`s are the same on the ef diff as on the original(same amount of teeth on the larger gear(crownwheel) and the small one that meshes with it(pinion).

also mate when doing things such as diff make sure you buy new bearings and shims its always good to know you have replaced things like that just for piece of mind.

Well, at this point we have some good news. I've managed to pick up a diff from another forte, as well as the tail shaft. Best part is, its for free after some great business talking from my old man. They're apparently in really good nick, so fingers crossed all will be well.

I would like to drop an LSD centre into bog standard au2 live axle futura sedan to help with towing etc.
On ebay I can get a reco 28spline lsd hemi and the seller informs me that all I will need to do is "use your crownwheel gear off your original hemi & bolt it on to the lsd hemi" So,is it that easy? Are there any pitfalls apart from changing the oil to LS90? Cheers |
