Technical Discussions / Re: Front Diff Replacement

Last post by Red90 - February 21, 2026, 03:17 PM

Well.  You might as well do the diff first.  It is the most likely cause of the backlash.  Am I right that you already did the drive flanges?  Those are a common location for wear.

Thanks John.

I'm okay doing this in stages, there's no rush.  What should I be looking to tackle first?  If the easiest and/or highest value areas can be identified, we can start there.  Once that's in place, move on to the next bits, and so on.

It makes sense to get a better diff, as it will be stronger and have less backlash.  Ashcroft 4 pin or ATB or a used stock 4 pin, if you can find one.

Then the last thing to consider is the half shafts, CVs and drive flanges.  They may have wear as well.  But you could always go back. It is easier the second time.

Happy to come around and offer support.

As to the work, you can do it the way in the video, pulling the entire assemblies or by pulling the hubs and spindles.  I usually do the latter as you can replace the hub seal, check the CV out and adjust the hub bearings.  Just make sure you have the right seals, gaskets and washers on hand.

Happy to help out.

Technical Discussions / Front Diff Replacement

Last post by JohnnyO - February 21, 2026, 09:24 AM

I am considering replacing the front differential on the 1994 NAS D90.  It has 320K kms and slack in the drive train.  I have already replaced the transmission and transfer case so the diffs are next.  Let's be clear, I hired someone for the tranny and t-case.  This time it's going to be the Land Rover turning the owner into a mechanic!  I am open to any thoughts, expertise, encouragement and wrenching assistance.  So here goes, wish me well...

My research has shown this is 3.54:1, 4 Spline, 4 Bolt Flange.  Does that sound right??

I am thinking about ordering a rebuilt diff.  Thoughts??
Rovers North

Ashcroft


Is the replacement really this straightforward??
