Vy lsd

Difficult to throw a LSD into a open diff ? Got an 03 executive vy ute and would love some LSD action, would a same year lsd b a straight fit up?

I just did mine , No problem , you just buy a similar year LSD & bolt it onto your existing crown wheel, buy new set of side bearings, theres a few tricks in getting the right preload between the crown wheel & pinion & also between the bearings , I think theres a DIY on this subject in this website, with pictures to show the steps. Make sure your diff has the same carrier bearing setup , IE, some have internal shims & the newer type have external side threaded carriers (no shims) so you can adjust the preload from outside the diff , which is very handy , you dont have to take the cover off the diff housing at all.

any VX-VZ diff will fit

Probably easiest to swap the whole diff than open it up. I have seen reco LSD diffs on ebay for around the $800 mark with whatever ratio you want installed. I can recommend you consider getting a diff with a different ratio from standard. I went from 3.08 to 3.89 in my VS and it was the biggest improvement in performance. A little research on the forums will give you all the information you need should you wish to go down that path.

Just change the whole diff much less work and its no where near as hard
