Swartvark Needs a Rear DIFF.......SORTED!
Hi Guys
Weird how one can make a mistake with regards to the origin of sounds from your vehicle.
What sounded to me like a front propshaft/universal/bearing or Something noise ended up being the rear Diff.
Swartvark has the import diff at the moment and I know these parts are scarce.
Diff lock diff is now an option.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ouch Jaaa.......I just spoke to a Gerhard from Wellington. He advertises on Gumtree...........Might this be the same bussiness?
He will phone me back later.
He recommended that I go for a 3.9 ratio??
I'm currently running at 3200rpm at 120km/h with my 4.875 ratio.

Re: Swartvark Needs a Rear DIFF.....do you have one?
You'll also have to change the front diff if you change ratios.
Just fit 40's.........they'll look cool too.

Die ou L/C 79 se voorste diff is dieselfde as die Import diff van die SFA se agter diff. Net ratios verskil.

Jy sal dan op 2688 rpm sit teen 120km/h wat jou redelik brandstof sal bespaar en jy sal nog lekker kan sleep in 4de

Waar het jy die Centre Portions gekoop?
Ek sal graag wil kyk hoeveel duurder dit sal uitwerk om hierdie conversion te doen en natuurlik my voor diff ratio ook aan te pas......
