Thread: Who has diff guards and are they worth having ?

I dont have one yet but wish I did. Ran into a larrge rock hidden under snow a while back and the car stopped dead. Did not do much for the diff housing.

Yes I picked up a dint at Rover park, do diff housing spit often or are they fairly durable ?

I picked up a pretty large dent on a recent outing, the casings aren't overly strong, and can split. A worthwile investment IMHO

The housings are thin and dent easily.

I have one of the clamp on type guards, and by the number of scrapes on it, it's saved the housing plenty of times. 8O

I've had four wheel drives for 25 years, never damaged a diff.

Recently got a 2nd hand Graeme Cooper front diff guard for the Disco. The day after fitting it I hit a large rock ops: ! Great timing .

Its not very often things like that work in your favour.

I dont have any yet but they are on my list. Matt

I have them front and rear but they were on when I bought it. The extra protection is worth it just in case.

You can never have enough protection

It's a very nasty world out there............ :wink: :wink:
