StarquestRescue Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You can get the plates and disks and spring parts from a big diff 4 bolt lsd (2.6 intercooled) car, if you have any of those around New Zealand. It likely beat up the side gears and diff case as well. In the states you could buy the whole 6 bolt diff for $75. I tore one down that looked the same way.

Fish fingers Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 hi i would happily buy a couple of diffs at that price hey you got any? or can get any? i have stripped my diff and it is in good order apart from the one broken washer, very near impossible to find any lsd starion diff's here in NZ, i got my current one out from states bout 6 years ago. let me know if you can help with parts or whole diffs. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish fingers Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hey John just been checking out your diff link, to see what's what some very helpful ideas on there, can you still purchase the bearings and more importantly that pile of torque tube front rubber mounts and sway bar bushes etc, are these still available over there? let me know cheers Merv.

Pinion bearings are cheep, side bearings are close to $120 a set. A bearing change may need the rear reshimmed, another $200. If all you need is the spring disk i should have one left over. The friction discs are the one's that I would need to cannibalize a 4 bolt rear for. Yes we can get bushings over here, poly is popular. Stock is available for some.

StarquestRescue Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Pm sent. Curious how you found the damage. Did you know it was not working right, or just tear down for inspection. I have been inside 8. One had a broken spring disk in 4 piece, 1 was all tore up, 6 were fine. Not good odds, seems some of these guys that say there lsd is not working may be right. Try this guy for oem diff mounts. http://www.enginemachineservice.com/conquest.html His site shows out of stock though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my Starion is a long distance rally car so we strip and inspect regularly, it has done many competition miles and was still working o.k but not as good as original it had given no indication there was a problem, luckily the small tags from inside the plate made there way to the bottom without any major damage (put minor mark on crown wheel but will be o.k to use again). I guess they getting old now and with increasing the horsepower now days it maybe a weak area hey. It pays to strip and service them if you want them to work properly, thanks for the link on the bushes. Fish Fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
