Rear Diff Broken
Hi all,
I’ve got my head around putting my gearbox back together, so whilst waiting for replacement parts, I decided to strip the rear axle.
All went well, and on inspection of the rear diff, I initially thought everything looked good, however the carrier has sheared where one of the side bearings sits. I never drove this car, but it seems the half shaft was keeping everything somewhat lined up.
The axle casing has a large dent, where I’m guessing in the past a more substantial diff failure has caused the casing damage.
I noticed i can get a new carrier, but I’m not sure I’m equipped to fiddle with the diff centre...I’m tempted to search for an entire rear axle with diff.
I’m in NSW Southern Highlands. Can anyone advise if Landrover Heaven sells used parts? or if someone has swapped over a carrier on their diff, could you advise on the difficulty.
Thanks guys!
Marcus
