Buying a VK LSD

[Caldys_vk]

Where do i look to buy an LSD for an 84 VK?

[V-ahhh]

id try your local wreckers, commodore specialists etc, were abouts are you located

[Wrayza]

Try ebay, 4 pinion 28 spline LSD's go for around $800, usually no more. But you can get lucky, mine was $400.

If u have a borgy they'll be easier and cheaper to find.

Here's a 25 spline Borgy LSD for $150

I dont know much about commodores what kind will fit in it and im from bribie island qld

Get under the back of the car and on the back of the dff it will either have a rubber bung or a metal bolt.....these are to check the oil level.

If u see a rubber bung that means u have a borg warner, if u see a metal bolt it means u have a salisbury.

[Caldys_vk]

it has a metal bolt so what kind of lsd would you recommend for a cheap price

What your best to do is to buy a borgwarner diff from a VK or VL and do an LSD conversion on it, whilst your at it do a disc brake conversion as well.

That will be your cheapest & best diff you could get, in the car it should cost you under $400 doing work yourself. Its pretty easy to do, you will need a torque wrench, some gear paste to check the mesh of the gears. To have new bearings pressed onto an LSD centre take it to a mechanices shop it should only take them 10min.


Else if you have around $800 look at a 28 spline 4 pinion VL Turbo (3.45) or VL V8 (3.08) LSD.

Now for a plug - I do have a 25 spline borgwarner LSD diff centre for sale, it was to go into my VK till I picked up a bargin on a VL Turbo diff. Diff build instructions to go with it.
