Thread: Cost Of lsd diff install

What the?? I wish I could charge that much

3 hours for the front, 2 hours rear. Disco 1, 2 or Defender all the same price.

So, at $105/ hr that is pretty much way less than what you were quoted....

That doesn't include oil, sealant, carrier bearings etc but c'mon, $2K+ for both???

Does that price include the lockers???

JC

Na thats what i got quoted labour only

Does any one know where i can get them install for a good price in perth?

Hi , I don't know how practical , or mechanicly minded you are , If you have a go yourself ,you won't be trying to repair , or find a problem. You only have to take apart and put back together , i'd like to think , there would be a few on this forum in the Perth area who would , Help you out , at a cost a lot less than you have been quoted .. lets hope so ,good luck ... jimr1.

Bloody hell indeed - when I read this thread earlier I assumed that it included the price of the lockers!!! It's a job that you can do yourself, although you'll most likely need a diff spreader to get out the old diff. At $2200 for labour alone I'd at least seriously shop round a bit more for a better price though, or find some mechanically inclined mates that want to give you a hand.

My Ashcroft LSD cost around $400 to get installed the first time and $350 the second time which included fitting a new crownwheel and pinion and lapping them in, whilst my Detroit locker in the sals cost $250 for install. All three by differential specialists.

Ill see what happens tomorrow i got 2 more places to ring if the price is still too much ill do it myself.

yea see i would pay that sort of price.
