Yes, front is available. Had one fitted tyo the front of mine about 3 weeks ago. Haven't tried it out yet as a mate has my 120. He broke his front diff and CV's (80 series) 5 weeks ago in the Glasshouse Mountains.

I'm no diff expert so I thought I would ask here. I had my e-locker fitted last Friday, now I have a drive line whine between 80-90km/h, it worse when I back off the accelerator. Is this normal after the diff has been changed? I am hoping it just needs to "bed in" after the change over. I don't think this anything to do with the locker, just the installation.
Any thoughts?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][B][COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#FF0000]2003 V6 Parado Grande.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Yep, installation problem. Diff wine is because the crown wheel and pinion gears are meshing in a different location than they were previously. Unless the pinion bearings were done at the same time, it will be a backlash setting problem, either too little or too much. Either way, take it back before it causes any damage in there.[LEFT]Silver 150 Facelift

If people are having issues with air lockers then again it hasnt been setup properly and needs to be looked at, or bad driving habbits/lack of maintenance.
And a final point is that NO locker auto/air/E or any standard LSD or open diff is a set and forget and correct oils must be used. Seen it all to often that people dont change their oils regularly enough or use incorrect oil which can have huge effects on diffs.
Diff breather size should also be considered as too small or blocked breathers cause as much damage as not changing your oil.2005 GXL 4L V6 6SP MAN, ARB deluxe bullbar, ARB UVP, 55w HID Spotties, Roof rack, Safari snorkel, Tri batteries, redarc, 2 and bit inch lift (bilstein and lovells and OME), GME UHF, Home made drawer system, straight through center muffler, LED worklights, HID conversion,ARB 2.5x2.5 Awning with walls, custom roof console, ARB fridge, 300w Redarc invertor, over hauled stereo, BFG KM2 285/70/17

The carrier bearings were replaced at the time of the locker install, I noticed the whine noise within a few days of the install. I have traveled several thousand km's since the install and the noise is still present but not quite as loud as it was initially. I am going to replace all the uni joints soon and if that doesn't help I may take it back to them for another look. There is still a definite noise! so I will go for a drive with their mechanic if I take it back so I can make sure they are hearing what I am hearing.Last edited by kevdebbi; 27-01-2015, 07:45 PM.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][B][COLOR=#000080][COLOR=#FF0000]2003 V6 Parado Grande.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
