prop shaft angle, and the gears are driving on the coast side of the tooth. While this is also the case for the stock rover type diff, I believe it worse on the ford 9 due to tooth shape/design.

anyone??? or have I got my info wrong again?

Aren't f truck 4x4's all low pinion?

No no

Reviving this thread as I finally have a need to upgrade my built rover front diff.
I need strength, more steering and a slightly wider track.

But I also need clearance. As the only thing that stops Fluffy is when it comes into hard contact with the ground.

How do I acheive this!?

One Word:p
Portals;)

I'd love portals. But the car would need some mods the get the overall height down.
I'm also not 100% sure the front superflex arms will be adequate for all aspect of onroad driving with portals.

Bigger wheels.
Lower gearing.

Cheers Mick. The forest rover is cool but not at all practical :)

I want to advance in axle tech not interested in a sals diff at all.
Tyres are 37s and eventually 40s (offroad only)
Gearing is 4.11 atm but want to go back to 3.5 or there abouts.
