Thread: LSD

Nope, open diffs all round, (24spline 94 onwards)

CHEERS TIM.

I have always wondered why LR stayed away from LSD's.Surely they would have been better off with them,that is before the Traction control models,ie D2?
Maybe not as reliable.Watching a Navara at Ormeau ,the LSD was very helpful,& made the vehicle much more capable

Until the introduction of traction control and independent suspension the Land Rover philophosy was that with good wheel travel any form of limited slip or locking diffs weren't required.

Having said that I fitted an LSD to the rear of my Rangie and it improved it significantly.

With stock wheel travel,as many of us know,it is still real easy get a wheel off the ground.Imagine how much more capable the LR's would have been.

Maybe its another...WHAT WERE THEY THINKING.........

Here is one for the boffins.
In 1970 when the Range Rover was first produced , didnt they come with a limited slip diff in the rear from the factory.
I think it was quietly dropped by 1972 when the range rover came to Aust with rover saying it wasnt needed because of the long wheel travel of the early range rovers.

I think you will find the very early RRs had a limited slip centre diff, but it was discontinued because it was quite weak.

You talking about the viscous transfer Jon in the rangies late 80's to early 90's?
