A Disco rear end is weak in a Disco, no matter about a 110.
Fit a locked, shaved Salisbury:

A Disco rear will let you down when you need it the most. My Sals is less than 10mm lower than the front diff, and a hell of a lot stronger than a Rover diff and axles.
Do it once, do it right :BigThumb:
cost is my problem:(
maby il have to make do with a detroit or a LSD;) both are still better then what i have now
If you shop around you should able to pick up an ARB/MD locked salisbury for AU$1000 or less disc-disc. You should then be able to sell your old rear axle. It would work out no more expensive than any other option.Quote:

P38A has a much larger flange diameter to get some extra support behind the ring gear to try to combat the flex. I can't say if it works or not.
Another very common mod in competition at the moment is to buy a Hilux third member and Hilux Air Locker (RD132) and swap a Land Rover gear set into the diff (direct swap in new ARB diffs), and bolt it up to the banjo (ratios matched to the front - obviously). You will double the ring and pinion strength and still be able to run Rover/Maxi shafts.

Great info!! Did you go through a few disco diffs before switching to the Sals?
Fit a cast or heavy plated diff cover and you'll prevent any oil leaks occurring from peeling the tin one on a rock. ;)Quote:

The downside is less oil cooling/more heat retained, so use an 80W-140 GL5 oil.
