Vitara diff gearing??

(1/2) > >>

Damon:
Having finally found a steel front axle I need to know if the gearing is the same.

I've got a '95 SWB Vitara, the steel front axle and diff came from an R reg '97/'98 LWB 2.0l Turbo diesel.

Cheers in advance :)

Damon:
No ideas anyone?  :)

rollazuki:
strip it and count the teeth.
Arent vitaras supposed to be 5.2:1

?

At least if you have counted em, you know youre right.

suzota:
vitara'a are 5.12
but i think the auto is a 4.88

Damon:
I'd heard somewhere that the auto was lower geared too :)

I have a plan! :)  Without stripping the axle into bits I'm going to rotate the input flange on the diff, lock one side of the axle and count the rotations on the free shaft on both axles - that'll work - I think?  (same principle as checking 410 transfer boxes)

correct me if I'm wrong someone :)
