Until you get one with bad contact and its noisy under decelleration due to odd wear from the front

But if it was quite in the front, it'll be quite in the rear.....plus standard rover diffs dont last long, so you'll change it soon enough anyhow

So if Iswap the diff centres around in my D1 it will reduce the backlash? My friend was a Mechanic and he use to swap CV's from side to side to get more milage out of them.

It won't do anything for backlash (play/slop). Philip wants to avoid setting up backlash by fitting a complete diff centre assy vs just fitting new crown wheel & pinion.
