Hi everyone, had my '96 XJ in for service today, 175'000km on the clock. Was told the rear LSD is worn out, will cost $1500 to repleace but if I leave it go and a bearing seizes it will cost me $3000.
Now $1500 is probably not a huge amount nowadays but has anyone else had this problem?, is it about the usual time when a LSD will go?....is there an alternative?....maybe take this oppurtunity to fit a locker??...any thoughts out there.
PS, the rest of the fourby got a clean bill of health, I really want to keep it but I wanna be realistic too.....is it worth spending this sort of money on an 11 year old Jeep?
Paul,
Brisbane.

briz those prices seem bit high i killed my front diff and replaced it with air locker with the arb air pump and cost me $2500 also had to replace crown wheel and pinion in that price .Had my back diff rebuilt 2months after that for $800 .im in brissy too.
I'm no expert but my understanding of lsd's is they're just a clutch pack and have nothing to do with any bearings, so when the lsd wears out it just means your reverting to an open diff, seizing bearings sounds like bull to me

Bing.
If you re prepared to spend That $$ (or less) then get a locler or at least decent LSD (TrueTrac).
But if you do neither getting the bearings checked/ replaced proably isn't a bad idea.
