turbo ute79 Member 376 Member For: 16y 8m 1d Gender: Male Location: gladstone qld Posted 26/03/09 07:39 AM Share Posted 26/03/09 07:39 AM just wondering if anyone has had any experience with upgrading the diff in an xr6 turbo ute. as far as I know they are a 28 spline axle but I have heard you can get 31 spline axles and different centres for them. I am planning on doin a fair bit of drag racing and burnouts with it so I want to upgrade before it breaks but I dont want to go to a nine inch.

I dont want to go that route if I dont have to cause I dont really want a mod plate and stuff when I might be able to upgrade the current diff. just saves a lot of hassle that's all. has anyone put bigger axles and centre in the standard diff Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56080-xr6-turbo-ute-diff-upgrade/#findComment-849861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
