Hey guys I am installing a 3" Calmini lift on my 1996 X90
The front diff is giving me trouble. Has anyone installed one of these that can maybe answer a few questions
When i put the front diff mounts on it lowers the front of the front diff raising the tail
The diff now sits hard on the crossmember? The angle for the rear mount is weird no way the blot goes though the mount at any sort of straight angle? If I do put the bot in and tighten it all t does is pull the diff down harder into the cross member? No way pinching up the rubber bushings?
I see aguy on the net has done some serious mods have a look at these pictures? Is this necessary? I find it hard to beleive you have to do this when Calmini says just bolt the bits on?







It seems that My angle may even be a little more than what this guy had.. Any help would be apprecaited..
Thanks again carl

When I lowered my diff, I had similar issues.  That mount has a lot of force applied to it, so keep that in mind.
Also with the diff sitting at an angle, you need to raise the front of X90 up (leveling the diff) when changing or checking oil level in the diff.  Running with a low level will cause the pinion bearing to run dry.

Ok well I talked to Calmini and they say that the diff can sit hard on the member .. Thx for the oil level tip never gave that much thought..

What I have done in the past is run rubber on that back mount AND heat and beat the crossmember out of the way (right where that strengthening rib wants to hit) That way the center section can float and take some of the shock loading out of the system.

Good luck, Eric
