Title: GV front diff broken
Post by: giacomo.m on October 06, 2008, 12:50:54 AM

Hi all,

I am owner of GV 3 door LHD 2001 with J20A engine, and I have front carrier aluminium broken.
I want to replace it by a more solid carrier.
therefore the steel axle of 2.0L TD Vitara 5 door it is compatible with my front drive shaft RH and shaft front drive ( in housing differential ) ?

thank you.

Giacomo

While I'm not familiar with the diesel, I'm 99% sure the answer to your question is YES.  The steel assembly is bolt in for the aluminum and the axle shafts will transfer.

Make sure you have the right gears to match the rear!
