Axles: 28, 31 or 35 Spline? How much is enough for your power. Quick answers
How do I know if my diff is failing?
A whine that changes with road speed, a clunk on take-up, or metal in the oil. Any of those is worth a look before it gets expensive.
Exchange or repair, what's the difference in price?
None. Exchange is the same price as a full rebuild; you just skip the wait.
What oil should I use?
Our exchange diffs are warranted on Redline 75W140NS. Most LSDs want 75W140; open diffs are fine on 75W90.
Do you ship outside Christchurch?
Everywhere in NZ, free both ways on exchange diffs, and DHL Express overseas.
Can I fit an exchange diff myself?
Yes, and the warranty still applies if it's fitted correctly and filled with the specified oil. Fitting guides are in the trade portal and on request.
