Hey everyone,
After destroying the stub axle and in turn the casing of the factory r180 front diff on my ZD30 nav I'm looking into a stronger replacement or fix.
I have seen a few guys chuck the r200 diffs out of V6 d21/d22s in the front as they are "stronger" but is that purely strength of the internals or strength of the stub axle?
Both the r180 and r200 have the same setup with a bolt running thru the middle of the stub axle on the passenger side to hold it in place, creating a hollow stub axle/splined shaft that's easily breakable, so is the r200 diff setup in anyway stronger in regards to the stub axle? Or is there any replacements on the market that can remedy this? Stronger steel stub axles?
All I'm after is a diff setup that does not break before the CV does, I dont mind replacing CV's regularly as they are a relatively cheap and easy trackside fix when compared to a complete blown front diff.
Cheers!
