Rear diff.
« on: October 04, 2010, 05:03:11 PM »
Ok, I've been playing musical diffs here lately. I took a 5.12 with lockright out of one, installed another 5.12 I had laying around. Then took the 4.30 out of my auto and put the locked 5.12 in. 

The 4.30 I took out of my auto looks different from every other Tracker diff. I've seen.

I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll try to explain it..... On the 4.30 on the inside side the ring gear down in the carrier? you can see 2 more sets of gears..............   On all the other diffs. I've seen this part is smooth like the outside of a bearing

Whats the difference.....

Thanks for the pics. The sidegears in mine are "meshed" together.   The other two I changed weren't like this, you couldn't see the sidegears, they had like a bearing cover over them. what does this mean? anything?

could be wrong but they may have been welded or they are damaged you have any pix?

I can't post pics on this site. I've tried before, I can't figure it out, even with the instructions.

The diff. isn't welded, it came out of my driver I've had for over a year.

It doesn't appear to be damaged. I'm just lost on why it looks different from every other tracker diff. I've been into

I realize its hard without pics

Ok I posted super simple easy instructions on posting pix a few days ago on another thread but anyway I am not really sure why they would be so different I have not looked at to many diffs but all the ones I have seen were all basically the same.

Sounds like a front (open can see gears) and a rear (closed) because it's a 3 pin 4 spider diff
