clbarclay Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 A common cause of the gears in the middle of diffs disintegrating is excessive wheel spin. This can draw the oil away from between the gears and the shaft they rotate on, causing them to seize and eventually break up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herdwick. Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 removed one halfshaft and checked it's a 24 spline,ordered the new diff carrier. yes the day it broke was wheel spinning for some time (i wont call it excessive),and i'm not using it for extreme 4x4 action so may something was wrong from the first place,do the gears in the carrier need shimming or is a standard fit? thnx for the reply !
