bugga on the diff!!!!!!!!!!

the add said highway diff!

will crack it open and count its teeth...

when you change to highway do you change the entire diff or can it be just the center?

i think the fella said HQ disk conversion kits (memory isn't the best these days)

Had a highway diff in my last Beddy and I loved it ;D It was a slug to get movin, but it loved 140k. Anything below that and it had no boogy. I was happy to slug around town though with my feet up on the dash 8) From memory it was 2.78:1 or there abouts.

i will be sticking this in... it was a free part... and with the heavy steering im thinking auto is the go go.



im guessing a three speed auto?

so what ratio would be ideal (186 motor) might be looking at a 202 black down the track

I doubt they’re drop axles as the stubs too low it would be more in the middle whack the rotors on them and see if the callipers fit id guess they’re from the same car the callipers and rotors are off
classic not plastic . in my case bog and fiberglass

those stub axles look like holden (hq-hz)
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Stubs look like Holden. Auto is a trimatic 3 speed auto. In my opinion 3.36 or 3.08 or somewhere around them would be best. More than 3.36 and no top end less than 3.08 no power down low.
