Diff rebuild who to use and quaife upgrade???
Bigboystoys - 19/1/18 at 09:43 PM

Currently changing my clutch so while engine and gearbox are out I'm also going to pull my 7.5" lsd ford diff out for a refresh as it's just started getting a little whiney. Question is who are people using and also is it worth fitting a quaife lsd whike I'm at it? I use car on road with occasional track day.

Many thanks

Sam

Dave Rae Transmissions is good with the Sierra diffs.

If you want to retain the Ford Viscous LSD Bara Motorsport can change the viscous fluid to make the diff work better in our lightweight cars.

If you do go for a quaife you will need to buy the stupidly expensive output shafts off quaife to retain your bolt on drive shafts,iirc they are circa £350.

Road and Race do all the Caterham diffs, they come well recommended.
