Justin Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 So I know Subaru makes a compatable LSD for a 510. But is that only four-lug and independant suspension?? I would like very much to get an LSD for my 620, as driving "locked" just gets a little too squiggily at times. I saw that (?)reideracing(?) makes an LSD for these trucks, but I was curious if, say, maybe a 6-lug 4x4 toyota axle would work, as I recall hearing that some of them are LSD??? (and I'd rather go to a salvage yard than pay for something to be shipped) Or perhaps it would be possible to merely swap the 3rd member out of a subaru 190 onto the non-independant rear-end?? (Cause apparently the pathfinders rear-end is too wide?) Anybody know what type of vehicle I should look for? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment

I dont believe by any means it will be a bolt in affair. Even if you were able to find one I would be willing to bet it is wider than the 620 axle. The pathy rear end is too wide indeed. That and the pumpkin is 233mm versus the 620 190mm so it wont bolt into the 620 housing. The subaru stuff wont work because the housings are not third members. I dont believe the carrier is 190mm either. Good luck on your quest and let us know what you find. Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 One more (quick) question... Do most LSD's have a nice, friendly sticker that alerts you, or will I be spinning most the wheels I find? Quote Link to comment
Fineline Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 One more (quick) question... Do most LSD's have a nice, friendly sticker that alerts you, or will I be spinning most the wheels I find? Stickers are nice but not always available........years of dirt, grease, etc. I found the easiest way is to just spin the wheels and hope they both spin. Quote Link to comment

Even if you were able to find one I would be willing to bet it is wider than the 620 axle. I have a 'Yoda axle and it's a little under an inch wider per side. I was worried that it would be noticeable, but it isn't. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hey Datzenmike..is your Yota axle a 5 lug or 6? The 6 lug axles from trucks and 4runners had the spring perches on the top of the axle, while the LandCruiser axles had theirs on the bottom...I have considered doing a Yota axle from a truck, but the perches would need to be rewelded (not a huge deal)...unless I wanted to give my truck a massive lift in the rear:mellow: at least then I could get gears super easy, lockers or LSDs and seals and brakes would be way more available.

johnnygalt Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 ARB doesn't make one? Since they're an Aussie company and the Nissan 4x4 stuff is really popular there, I'm kinda surprised you couldn't buy a ARB air locker for it. Try 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers. Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 a locker is not really meant for a street vehicle... plus air lockers are terribly unreliable and expensive... I'm sure someone makes one... but it sounds like hes trying the ratsun approach. Quote Link to comment

I'm sure someone makes one... but it sounds like hes trying the ratsun approach. Fair enough on the cost/ratsun side. Most ARB failures are due to poor installation, not the design. I liked having full lockers since it gave me full control- if I was driving on the street or on snow or ice, I had fully open difs. If I was offroad, I could fully lock it up. To me, preferable to a Detroit where inadvertent lockups going around corners can be :eek: Maybe there's a torsion type out there like a Detroit True Trac Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 if I was driving on the street or on snow or ice, I had fully open difs. i think thats the whole point why he wants an LSD so that he doesnt have an open diff on the street Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Maybe there's a torsion type out there like a Detroit True Trac That would be an LSD ;) Air lockers in a 2wd just doesn't seem right to me... Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 "For the price and reliability I would just buy a new one...in fact I will be if my Jeep stops spending all my $$$" Just Empty Every Pocket !! I loved the lockers in my Landcruiser. It had 35's, 4.88's, air compressor and tank, welding capabilty, winch, huge bumpers and lights and could go friggen ANYWHERE! I would NOT want one in my little Datsun. It would be bad to have the engagement around a corner...I agree with Fineline though...if you got it...flaunt it! I love catching that little squeek of scratch in 2nd.:) Plus...with a motor like you've got man, you could scare the crap out of some pedestrians:lol: Quote Link to comment
