just a thought, what are you breaking in the diff's?
you could always go a full steel centre or spool with billet 31 spline axles that will fit in the std housing. just as strong as a 9" then. the std 28 spline axles in yours now are the same as std 28 spline 9" axles so if you are snapping axles now it wont really help much. but then again a nice set up 9" will never give you trouble ever again, but expect to pay a bit if you want it bulletproof. cheers

Saying that, a modified BW/Dana etc will not have as much driveline loses as an 9in mainly due to size and pinion to crown wheel contact.

the diffs have done both of the common problems, either excessive backlash, and or whinning.

WOW an IRS out of a GTR is pretty impressive, apparently they can take a lot of abuse compared to many other brands IRS, have you seen any articles on the conversion anywhere?

I know your car is out of warranty and you are mighty p****d off, but have you approached Ford due to this being an on going problem, I am sure there are consumer rights protecting against problems like this, Ford (and all other brands) has had to pay up due to different on going problems way after warranty has ended due to the problem was a known on going thing, example: EF/EL actuators were still being replaced years after warranty finished. I replaced many Skyline diffs years after warranty and sales had ended, just about all Skyline BW diffs had major diff whine.

Heaps, "CRAFT", "Smithfield", the list is endless, plenty of big ones around Sydney and Melbourne, ring around for quotes then do some research by posting in here and other forums asking if they ever had problems with the company, don't rely on magazine advertorials hyping up how good they are i.e. Hemroids etc

I thought I better put in that the dearest thing of the 9in for your car will be a decent centre and maybe axles, your housing is pretty basic, so when getting a quote make sure they aren't just supplying a crappy second hand non LSD etc centre.

what to do? |

Contact Fair Trading and tell them about it, don't give up yet, f**k they fitted a faulty product/s so they should fit the bill.
