well its not cornering,but i would say carrier bearings,its definatly quieter then the other centre but there is a slight vibration when taking off that wasnt there before ? i didnt set the gear mesh just took a guess it would be ok swapping the crown gear over,should i just try wheel bearings first or just get the whole lot done ?

ok i took it for a drive and its only marginally quieter ,oooops maybe its the wheel bearings,but i have the LSD centre in there now,so i guess start with wheel bearings and then if that doesnt work i suppose its all comin out again ! :angry:i used a medium sized crow bar to lever the centres out ,wasnt to hard just a pain in the arse if your under the car,cheers.

well it took about 10 mins of hitting each side with a rubber mallett to get it in then i did the caps up so it will have a bit of load,probly about the same as the LSD one i took out of the EF housing,now i no what those 2 small holes are ,ok im gunna fill it up soon,cheers

well i dont no what a diff spreader is but i got the old open centre out without to much fuss and i found it quite a bit heavier than the lsd unit ?,broke a shim trying to get it in,then used another shim identical size and tried a different method to fit it in and it worked much better ,the last centre had noisy bearings so i used the new lsd complete unit with its bearings,gunna fill it up soon ,put the brakes back on and take for a drive,i really hope its better because im getting sick of living under the car LOL.

Today i pulled out a 3.27 open centre and swapped the crown gear on to a LSD out of a 96 LTD i picked up for a good price,i have never done any diff work before but it all went down ok,i will refill with oil tomorrow and test drive it,im hoping it will not make any noise as the old one did.
