    How much wider gu diffs?

    Got the green light to save the pennies and work towards getting gu diffs and cvs as my front diff is rooted!

    How much wider are the diffs compared to Gq?

    Thinking about how much will they come out from the guards as my Flexi flares are bang on with my tyres at the moment.

    Not overly keen on getting new crazy wide flares to suit either!

    I'm also worried about more scrubbing with the wider diffs too!

    It's mainly the better cvs and brakes from the gu.

    They are stronger and also have bigger brakes. It's a really good upgrade, on my list to do down the track.

    The GU CV is significantly bigger and well worth the upgrade. The brakes are a huge bonus.

    The length difference is a bit. Been a while but it was abo it a 40mm track change I believe so 20mm side.

    Given the track change yo u shou I'd be looking for a pair rather than just a front mate. You will get away with just a front but will suffer a little with rear steer, especially in the Beach Sand.

    You will need a new Drag Link and Tie Rod. I recommend a GU Steering Box too.

    Obviously a weld on brace kit is a no brainer.

    Also swapping your rims over for a lesser offset will sort out the extra track if your really concerned.

    Nissan factory rims off a GU will swap straight in and a cheap.
