Default Lsd rebuild

G'day all my first posting. I got a 3.45 lsd centre out of a Fairlane (IRS) gonna put it in my S spec au2. Are rebuild kits available. I have looked around several websites with not much luck, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Rick

Sorry but I know nothing about diff rebuilds other than I will likely need one one day.
But this thread seems to have been created for your purpose?

And even if your kit isn't listed on ebay, maybe one of these reputable sellers can provide it?

Thanks for the reply. With looking through ebay and other online stores, they have no listing's for a lsd.
I am trying to get a repair kit that comes with replacement wear disc (I think that's what they are called) to do a full rebuild.
Hopefully, someone can help me

Is it an M78 centre?

Smile Re: Lsd rebuild

I am not sure sorry, tried to look at sticker but most of it was missing.
It was in a series 2 Fairlane with IRS, the lsd tag was still attached
car looked a bit ruff which is why I'm trying to find the rebuild kit.

Read lots of threads here telling me I can go irs to beam just not the other way around.

I currently have 3.23 beam with noisy bearing and leaking pinion.

Not sure if your question is for rebuilding the LSD center or the entire cradle with suspension.
If it's for LSD center I had the same issue when I enquired about rebuilding the LSD as the clutch packs were not available. I was recommend to have a positrac centre fitted. They also said if the crown wheel and pinion needed replacing the total cost of a full rebuild by them would be $3600.
I ended up getting a 2nd hand single spinner complete diff for $250 and fitting it myself.

Angry Re: Lsd rebuild

G'day Magee,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I wanted to rebuild the diff centre only.
I have been told the diffs are not serviceable and your comment just confirmed it
Really disappointing as I got lsd centre for $50
Might try and get another 3.23 beam, do the bearings and try the centre
I can only live and learn. Thanks again
