Is this normal?

Maybe I shouldn't try to pull wheelies up significant hills. Just a thought. I actually bent the cap bolts and spun the carrier bearing.I guess r&p sets are designed not to have debris roll through I'll be back on the road by Friday. Already drilled and tapped another cherry third member that has already be rebuilt not that long ago.

The day before self induced disaster.

You're not special...they all do it eventually. I had one trip where both front and rear went.

Does anybody have any experience with ashcrofts HD 3.55 r&p sets? I don't want to put a Salisbury in the rear of this 88. The stiff arb carriers and maxi-drive shafts have been very reliable. Any input on the gears would be appreciated.

It's the "wall of shame" by the way.

Looks like it wasn't set up right. The pinion looks to have set too deep into the ring gear.

Your probably right I don't know what I'm doing.

I have to say I have never found the diffs in lr to be much of a problem , halfshafts (axles) in 10 spline 109 were more problematic when heavily loaded. I had a friend who used to do diffs in his 109 esp front ones , but he was totally deaf from birth so he had to drive by feel as he could not hear revs , say no more !

 

[Nonimouse]

I've twice written to Land Rover over the appalling quality fo thier diffs - mine regularly fail at 250,000 miles or only 20 years. Shoddy workmanship I reckon

On a serious note I never even managed to break standard diffs with a JE 4.6 Supercharged lump - I feel it may be down to a very light and gentle right foot:ylsmoke:

It's your mind subconsciously blocking out the carnage...
