Hi all,
Friends front diff went bang on the weekend. It has a factory locker. Just wondering if anyone has any advice I can pass on to him about who he should talk to about getting it fixed and is there any strengthening mods that can be made?
Thanks,
Leroy

Leroy, replace the diff with an ARB air locker. The centre housing is much stronger
and there are very few reports of anyone breaking them.(that havn't been abused)
Some also replace the crushable spacer with a machined one to minimise the flex even more. Certainly worked for me as I towed another N****n up a
hill (again)on the weekend................... stir.
Cheers Craig

seems a waste to toss a factory locker.

With all those teeth crunching around in there it would be interesting to see how much of the factory locker is salvagable. Must also say this is the first 100 front diff with FL that I've heard of blowing up. Craig.......

If I were you I would put in a Patrol front end, rear end, donk, body etc
Sorry, couldn't resist...just kidding, Hope you have a happy ending with this as it's a common story.
Cheers
