AliveBoy Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 So... Over the next 2 weeks, I'll be swapping out the standard VLSD for a fully locked diff. Is it worth my while uprating the diff bushings to solid ones at the same time? Or am I asking for trouble and will be snapping shafts constantly? Thanks for any help Quote
RVSV2824 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Im also interested in this as im going down the same route until i can get my hands on a decent 2-way. I have read stories about breaking driveshafts when running a welded diff but then some people say its fine. My old s14a was fine and i ran that daily but not sure if using solid/poly diff mounts on the Z would put even more strain on shafts ontop of using a welded diff though Quote

Daryl Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Are the diff bushes easy to replace, or is it a ramps and a mechanic job? Was looking at what Tarmac has for sale, and he sells diff bushes. Cant beat a stiff bush 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted April 10, 2014 Author Posted April 10, 2014 think bizz can sort you with some I just don't want to do something which will call me a headache with snapped shafts etc, as Daryl says, stiff bush yes, snapped shaft... no! Quote
Jay-350z Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 I wouldn't go solid, a welded diff is noisy and rough at slow speeds as it is! I would go Polly bush. Quote
