LSD in front diff

[tiggar03]

since ive just found out my rear LSD is not stuffed I was woundering if its possible to put a rear LSD into the front diff of my 1990 GQ safari SWB

[Ben-e-boy]

nope sorry mate. the rear is 33 spline and the front is 31 spline.

I think a rear lsd from a pathfinder and Mq will fit in. some one else may be able to confirm that

thanks ben its just i got another complete LSD diff for $56 nz and it looks pretty good so now that i dont have to replace mine i thought it would be good if possible to put in front

You are right. Pathfinder/Terrano rear lsd fits the front diff of GQ. I have it on my Safari.

hows this on the asphalt, all right?.
or do you suffer a bit of under-steer?.

You should go back to 2WD when on asphalt

No difference at all on asphalt. The only problem - now it's more expensive to change oil in front diff.

I'm trying to find out it's behaviour/manners with it installed in front.

With the hubs unlocked, there shouldn't be any difference. Same as having an auto locker

I had a auto locker in my last vehicle, it self centered quite strongly when on the power on hard surfaces.
I had to go around corners in tangents i.e. power on almost straight power off turn in heavy till slightly to far - power on and straight again till I got round the corner, was fine on loose dirt
So on my new vehicle I have a air locker so I can have the open diff till I need the extra traction with it locked
