Thread: New Diff Guard

Nice looking guard there Loaded

Nice. Bit like the QT guard with the slider plate on the bottom.

Looks simple, just wondering though looking the mounting bracket it clamps to the axle housing, if an obstruction was hit hard wouldn't it swivel on it's bracket and hit the diff any way? If it works ok then wouldn't be difficult to fabricate one. Ideas

but you have to take it off to change(re fill) the diff oil!
try doing that when the bolts are bent and rusty.

apart from that the all in one diff guarg / slider idea is a good one.

cheers phil

It can't swivel as its bolted into where the steering dampner bracket would usually bolt (on the disco's and rangies anyway), as well as being clamped around the diff housing. The the steering Dampner bolts into the back of the slider part - also protected

You can actually still fill and empty Diff with it left on. There is just enough room using the right implements.

Hi all ,

Whats the tab at the rear of the diff guard for ? Qt guard have one too .
Is it for a 2nd steering stabilizer to the tie rod ?

Ta.

There is only one stabiliser fitted to classsic rangies and that is on the track rod.
