Absoultely, I dont recall any complaints at all about it, and it may have even been on Expedition Exchnge, Discoweb or something like that (if they're still around), they were saying that it also improves tracking for lifted vehicles where castor has been lost.
For 33's the standard ratio is fine. I think once 35's are fitted the 4.12 ratio brings it back to standard.
4.11 is standard ratios for 33's. Its 4.3 for 35's.
I know that especially with a ecu and intercooler upgrade, the cars power handles the tyre size increase, but low range suffers and also I tow a van, so I want to put the ration back to as close to standard as possible.
Im running 32s now on standard and there is a definite difference from standard wheels...so 33s will only make that worse...and I have the ecu done as well...and intercooler very soon...maybe VNT....:eek::D....

Can anyone who has Ashcroft CDL LSD's fitted to a defender comment whether they are noisy or not?
Umm, Ashcrofts don't make a CDL ATB, (Quaife do :D) but I assume you're taking about Ashcrofts ATB torque biasing diff for the front/rear axles ?Quote:

There's photos and a description of operation here http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...ferential.html

The Quaife ATB cdl would be a pretty cool bit of kit in a TC equipped vehicle with front and rear ATB diffs.
If I ever had a heavily boosted 4BD1T I reckon one would be nice for on road use witha heavy right foot and you just lock the CDL for off road.Quote:

Differentials A vehicle's wheels rotate at different speeds, mainly when turning corners. When cornering, the inner wheel needs to travel a shorter distance than the outer wheel, so for vehicles without a differential, i.e a kart, the result is the inner wheel spinning and/or the outer wheel dragging, and this results in difficult and unpredictable handling, damage to tyres and roads, and strain on the entire drivetrain.
A differential has three functions in your vehicle: to convert the power from the engine to wheels of the vehicle, to act as the final gear reduction in the vehicle, slowing the rotational speed of the transmission one final time before it hits the wheels and to transmit the power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds.
The simplest type of differential is called an open differential. When a car is driving straight down the road, both drive wheels are spinning at the same speed. The input pinion is turning the ring gear and cage, and none of the pinions within the cage are rotating -- both side gears are effectively locked to the cage. The open differential always applies the same amount of torque to each wheel. There are two factors that determine how much torque can be applied to the wheels: equipment and traction. In dry conditions, when there is plenty of traction, the amount of torque applied to the wheels is limited by the engine and gearing; in a low traction situation, such as when driving on ice, the amount of torque is limited to the greatest amount that will not cause a wheel to slip under those conditions. So, even though a car may be able to produce more torque, there needs to be enough traction to transmit that torque to the ground. If you give the car more throttle after the wheels start to slip, the wheels will just spin faster. A strange but informative video to explain this :
The open diff is fine for the general road user but drivers that engage in Off Road Challenge Events the locking Diff is a better option. Please see our Locking Differential section for more information on the locking diff products we have available.
For the gentle Off Roader or for those drivers who often drive on low traction surfaces the Limited Slip differentials may be a preferable option. Please see our section on Limited Slip diffs for further information.
We are able to offer a wide range of differentials to suit your vehicle and your application. The diff can be supplied as a rebuilt assembly or we just supply the diff centre for DIY installation. We apply a core charge when the diffs are sent out which is £75 or £100 (dependent on type), this charge is refunded when or if, the old unit is returned to us. We do not currently supply rebuilt Salisbury axles or diffs.
