Way too much grease on the splines. Will end up on the clutch linings and cause all sorts of trouble.

Translation. You're right 😥 Then all the work would be for the cat. So only a little stroke over the waveDa haben Sie recht 😥
Dann wäre die ganze Arbeit für die Katz .
Also nur wenig über die Welle streichen
If you don't mind, how easy/difficult was it to mount the GQ leafy front diffs? Does the leaf perches line up? And the GQ steering is behind the axle, so you can probably just swap the MQ knuckles right? Any photos? Last question, what ratio was that 4.375?Leafy gqs had mq guards, the diffs are same width. I have a h233 front from a leafy ute for my mk
I guess my only concern with this method will be going through tunnels, you'll lose GPS tracking and won't have speed anymore. I suppose you can just follow traffic but I guess in my head it just makes sense to keep some kind of physical speed tracking.Got lazy. Found this GPS speed on Fleabay for cheap. It's 90mm which is exactly the inside diameter of the current speedo. May have to do some trimming but I do a have spare back holder. Probably not ideal, but it will do the trick. Will see how it goes. At least it will be way more accurate than the MQ speedo which was out by 15km at 100km/h. Then just the stepper motor rev counter connection to the Nissan ECU.

Yes that was my concern too initially. But I don't go through tunnels very often and over the last 200+km I have not noticed once that it did not work driving around the city and freeways. Then again, I don't look too often as I mostly follow the car in front. What is nice is the accuracy compared to my mobile displaying Google maps where the speed seems to match perfectly. I may one day, when I have time to spare, go back and build one using the original face and needle...I guess my only concern with this method will be going through tunnels, you'll lose GPS tracking and won't have speed anymore.

I couldn't tell you, I was looking for lockers and found front and rear lockers in complete diffs for a good price, just so happened the front was a gq diff already modified, they're 4.3s. Perches are moved. As for the knuckles I haven't given it thought, I'll have to look next time I'm thereIf you don't mind, how easy/difficult was it to mount the GQ leafy front diffs?

Leaf sprung GQ patrols had the same steering setup as MQ's, with the linkages in front of the axle and the relay arm in the middle, so you shouldn't have to change them for it to workIf you don't mind, how easy/difficult was it to mount the GQ leafy front diffs?

Sounds good, from what I’ve gathered reading around,Thanks for the info. Think I may keep my eyes open for a leafy Ute to do a SOA sometime in the future![]()

Oh I was under the impression that all 4 diff flanges were the same on any one vehicle, being:Leaf perch difference wouldn't matter, they'd be cut and moved for SOA anyway.
From memory GQ front and MQ diff flanges are the same bolt pattern, but rear is different. Could be wrong on that though.
Yeah steering is the same. Arms, lengths and ball joint tapers.
Knuckles are interchangeable between MQ and GQ leafy. Can't remember if GQ leafy uses GQ or MQ caliper carrier though, they are slightly different offsets but are otherwise identical.
Medium on MQOh I was under the impression that all 4 diff flanges were the same on any one vehicle, being:
Small on all MQ/MK patrols
Small on RD/RB GQ and GU patrols
Big on all others (ZD, TD, TB).
Like you though, I could be wrong.
