ive got an LSD out of an 03 outback. and the axles
My car is a 3.90 and the diff is a 4.11
So i pulled the diff apart and it looks really easy, 8 -17mm bolts hold the ring on and one 32mm nut holds the pinion in.
Now before i go tearing my 94 rear diff apart, i know mine has the stub axles , but my questions is, will the ring gear from my 94 bolt onto the 03? If not i can juist get a 3.90 ring outof something else, but it would be easier to just use my original.
Has anyone messed around with these before, they look realy simple, only took me 5 minutes to tear the hole thing apart with hand tools.

Why didn't you just get a 3.9 LSD?

He likes making things harder than they need to be

i couldnt find a 3.90 lsd.
I work at the biggest junkyard in the country so i have a huge selection to choose from, but we dont buy anything older than 96 so my selection is limited to the newer models. and $75 for an LSD is a good deal.
anymore dumb questions?

If it's an R160 I can't see why you couldn't just change it out. As with everything, putting it back together isn't as easy as taking it apart. You'll have to adjust back lash and junk, but for that price, you could pay someone to do it and still be ahead.

The FSM shows the open diff to ring bolts are a different size than the lsd bolts. But that's not for an '03 so you may not have to deal with it.

Can the rest of us get 4.11 LSDs for $75?

thanks for the input.

I guess i should apologize for calling that a dumb question, i just found a 92 SS rear 3.90 VLSD from another friend of mine.
problem solved.
sorry

So you now have an extra already built 4.11 LSD with axles?

returned it
