    Default lsd diff

    hey guys

    vs ss 1996

    i was just wondering if anyone would happen to know where i could find a lsd diff (live axle) in perth, i already have a lsd but its F**KED thats putting it lightly, ive been to a couple of places and they are just all stunned that i have a live axle and they cant seem to help,


    andd...... is it possible to change my live axle to an irs, without costing an arm and a leg.

    yeah 10000000% sure its live axle,

    i no its strange,, what ive been thinking lately is that the car orignally had and irs and the pevious owner destroying it by smashing curbs and burnouts etc etc..... it would also explain why my shocks and springs had taken a beating,

    ive tried ebay but no luck

    Hmm... I wonder what's involved in a IRS conversion?
    Maybe a new diff and springs and shocks probably... Dunno.
    But it should have been IRS... Does it have any stickers or shit in the car saying it's IRS?

    Redbook

    Have a gander at this.
    It's supposed to have IRS as "Standard"
    So the original owner must of screwed the rear end up big time and replaced it all thinking that you wouldnt be able to find it...
