Thread: Life of Puma Rear Diff's

Hi Noise Issues is what I read, I did not press for an answer from David

I grappled with the same problem and ending up sticking with a P38 but pegging the crown wheel with an Ashcroft locker'


I'm running 235/85 and using it as a family tourer with stock tyres didn't want a Sals as they are huge - even when shaved. Disk ones are hard to find too.

I don't think they are quite as weak as people make out, that is not to say they adequate for a 2 tonne off road truck. But driven sensibly I hope what i've done is alright.

Nice. Did you buy a new diff housing through ashcroft or just the pegging kit?

Hi
Bought it pegged as a complete assembly

I had a front one done local, but it ended up costing about the same maybe a bit more to import the entire unit built up ready to bolt in, then import a locker and get a local guy to fab it up and fit the locker.



The advantage is that i have spare bolt in diff centre to bolt in if a i do damage this one.

Took about 2 weeks from order to be built and shipped here to my door.

You have to ring 'em up to order the full assembly their website assumes your supplying your own centre.
