diff ratios

<< < (3/3)

Bob Ajob:
If you want to make sure on both ratios, take the diffs out and count the teeth.

The crown wheel is the large, the pinion the smaller, for 4.7:1 and 3.54:1, see below:

ratio - crown - pinion
4.7:1 - 47 - 10
3.54:1 - 46 - 13

47 divided by 10 = 4.7
46 divided by 13 = 3.54 (well, just under)

If your two axles have different ratios, you will want to change one of the diffs.

extreme90:
or
remove the break pads and turn the pinion
3.5 turns of that and the disc should do 1 rotation
but its not needed, you'd know if you had two different ratio diffs fitted, the center diff would have blown up by now

Range Rover Blues:
Put it in diff lock, jack up one wheel at each and and check they go round at the same speed, but I agree, the samll pile of teeth under your transfer box would kind of give the game away by now :-o

Tommo:
yeah mark each tyre at a certain point (ie the top) and spin them like 5 times and check the marks still get to the same point (ie the top) at the same time
