Today was a pretty cool day all round:

I had the opportunity to throw my car on a hoist, rip out my dead rear diff & help Stace build up a replacement for me.

First surprise of the day was that my old rear diff had a viscous centre (ala forrester rear diff) not the Suretrac lsd it was supposed to have........This obviously wasn't the original diff.

Ugly, ugly spider gears......viscous diff centre...Not STI Suretrac!

(Pink stuff is redline heavy duty shock proof)

Surprise number two was this:



Count the missing teeth on the crown wheel......Yup..........4 teeth are absent! lol....
No wonder it was getting a bit noisy....ha ha!

She now has a silent 4.44 Suretrac centered diff.....The type it was supposed to have all along!

Cheers for today Stace!

Stace also showed me how to disassemble an inner cv joint (never had to do one before) & repack it correctly.....In prep for doing your front drivers one Jase (I still need to do the same one on mine too).

the gc8 turbo front drivers have a slightly different construction to the rear axles,
instead of balls, they use 3x small discs, but that inner-ring is still the same.

non-turbo front axles are the regular ball & cage setup.
