So i have an au2 falcon xls manual ute and have a 3.45lsd diff from an xr6 and wanting to change over to an open diff.
Would I have to replace the whole rear end or can i swap the centres over and whats the procedure for that. |

Ute is leaf springs. Sedan is coils I assume the XR6 is a sedan?
Diff centres can be swapped but they need to be set up properly with clearances, backlash etc. Not something I'd attempt without help and especially if you've got to ask.

I get that you have an AU2 XLS manual ute. It appears you also have a 3.45LSD out of an XR6. It sounds like the LSD is installed in the ute, as you want to change over to an open diff. So what's the question again? |

If you change the gears over you have to set the backlash to loose it will chatter to tight it will howl like a mongrel dog google setting backlash it will scare you
