wozzer uk Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 can somebody please verify what i have heard can you swap the front differential with a back differential just by turning it upside down, been to morocco on a off road trip with a few friends and unfortunately the front diff bearing has a bit of a wobble and oil has leaked out but my 21 year old 90 got me home ok i have been offered a rear diff and told just turn it upside down and it will be ok cheers warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 If you have a Def diff it will fit both front and rear. No need to turn upside down. In fact I don't think you can turn it over. As long as the spline count is the same all should be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Is that not a 24 spl diff then. I asume that by the age of yours (21yrs) you'll have 10 spl. So would not fit unless you change shafts as well. I see Jamie is watching this so expect some tech knowledge to be parted with shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roybatty666 Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have a rear 10 spline axle going free if you want it for the diff but I am pretty far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks906 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 think you will be better changing them for a pair of disco ones 24 splines abit better and stronger you could pick up a pair for not much you will have to change the rear input flange for a 4 bolt hole one but thats easy enough dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
