Superior Leaf Sprung Standard Width Chromoly Diamond Diff Housing Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series

Superior Leaf Sprung Standard Width Chromoly Diamond Diff Housing to suit the Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series (Non VSC & VSC Models)

This is the Standard Width Upgraded Diff Housing

The Superior chromoly diff is offered as both Standard Track or Track Corrected. Check your state laws for regulations & legalities on fitting the Track Corrected diff. The track corrected housing for example is legal in Victoria but not in QLD. This is because QLD legislation specifically say you cannot adjust the track of and axel, whereas Victoria says you cannot adjust the track of a vehicle. Making the front and rear the same in Victoria is not a problem, because you are not changing the cars track, but in QLD it would be an issue.

Features

• Chromoly 13.5mm wall housing tubes that are 830 MPA average tensile strength where our competition uses 6mm mild steel 350 grade that is 350MPA , meaning just in the tubes alone a Superior Engineering housing is at least double the strength over our competitors.
  FEA tests were completed at 15 tonne load, they only deflect the housing <1mm, 15 tonne destroys our competitions diff housings.
• We are the only manufacturer using 90mm axle tubes, all other companies are using a smaller 80mm axle tube. 
  Because we use a 90mm axle tube this also greatly increases the overall strength of the housing to resist bending from loading or impact.
• Our diamond diff comes standard with 6mm chromoly 830 MPA plate , it has a further 4mm added to the rear of the housing and underneath the housing which eliminates the need of any further diff protection.
• We have more ground clearance than our competitors because we used  larger tubes and a wider overall diamond this meant we did not have weld additional gusseting underneath the diff housing unlike other manufacturers do.
• Overall width of the diamond is wider, this mean's we have a masive amount more structural integrity and strength, we have additional gussets inside the diamond to also help with overall strength.
• The Standard Width Diamond Housing is supplied with PJ 300m Chromoly axels with a 12 month warranty againts manufaturing faults.
• The PJ axles are attached to the housing using a billet 4340 drive plate. Factory axles are prone to breaking once a wheel bearing becomes loose, because we use a drive plate this stops the fatigue caused and allows a stronger axle assembly.
• Our Diff upgrades kits come standard powder coat, they also avilable colour coded at no extra cost, unlike other companies
• We supply Bis 80 High Clearance U-Bolt plates standard with our diff replacements, this gives you even more ground clearance then our competitors at no extra cost.
• The replacement housing is built with factory dimensioned 4140 chromoly spindles, this allows you to retain all your factory brakes and bearings.
• The factory swaybar locations are retained on the Replacement housing 
• The chromoly housing accepts factory locked or unlocked third members
• World strongest Housing to suit the 70 series landcruisers , FEA tests showed 15 tonne applied to the housing had a minute flex of 3mm , FEA testing of our  competitions housings  showed failure at 15 tonne.

Kit Includes

• Superior Track Corrected Diamond Diff Housing
• PJ 300m Axles
• Drive Plate with Caps
• Billet Steel U-bolt Plates

Why buy a Diff Housing?:
The introduction of the V8 diesel engine into the 70 Series model from 2007 resulted in an increase in front wheel track, while the rear track remained the same. This change produces an OEM track variation from front to rear of 95mm.

The narrower rear track can cause the vehicle to sway unpredictably when travelling on soft surfaces, or on tracks that have existing wheel ruts. Even changes in road surface on sealed roads can sometime cause problems. Issues with instability can arise when towing or when a lift is added raising the center of gravity in heavily loaded touring vehicles.

Some major benefits of having a wide track rear diff:

• Improved on-road dynamic stability and handling
• Increased driver control and handling in loose soils such as mud, gravel or sand
• Significantly reduced tracking when travelling through rutted tracks
• Improved stability when towing or loaded
• Reduces effects of highly mounted accessories such as roof racks or awnings
• Improved steering responsiveness
• Improved rollover / stability resistance
• Supplied with our Patented, High clearance Bisalloy leaf spring U-Bolt plates and U bolts

Why buy a Superior Engineering Diff Housing over other brands:

• The Ultimate diff housing starts with 4140 Chromoly 13.5mm wall housing tubes that are ~900Mpa average Yield Strength where our competition uses ~6mm wall carbon hollow bar that is ~470Mpa, meaning just in the tubes alone a Superior Engineering housing are almost double the strength over our competitors. FEA tests were completed with 15 tonne load on the rear axle, and even then they only showed a deflection in the housing of less than 1mm, no other brand Landcruiser housing come close!
• If material strength and thickness wasn’t enough, we are also the only manufacturer using 90mm axle tubes; almost all other are still using the smaller 80mm axle tube. Utilising a 90mm axle tube greatly increases the overall strength of the housing to resist bending from excessive loading or side impacts.
• Adding to this the center section of our diamond diff is fabricated as standard with 6mm high tensile 830Mpa plate! High Tensile, wear-resistant and Hardened steel plate is the perfect match for the 4140 chromoly outer tubes. For added strength, it has a 4mm High Tensile Diff Guard / Skid Plate added to the rear and bottom of the housing which further protects the pinion gears and diff centre.
• A massive increase in ground clearance compared to our competitors is achieved through the use of larger axle tubes and a wider overall diamond, meaning we do not have weld additional gusseting underneath the diff housing to add strength.
• Overall width of the diamond center is wide and tapered, which adds a massive amount more structural integrity and strength, the additional internal gussets of the diamond center not only help with overall strength but provide channels for oil flow aiding in cooling.
• Superior Engineering is the only Australian manufacturer to use Aerospace grade – 300M axles made exclusively by RCV – ‘The manufacturer of the world toughest 4WD axles!’. These axles are the same material and hardening used in Ultra4 race cars, trophy trucks as well as an array of offroad weapons in the USA and around the world, and they are at no extra cost. The RCV 300M axles offer a lifetime warranty against breaking!
• The RCV axles are attached to the housing using a billet 4340 drive plate. Factory axles are prone to break once a wheel bearing becomes loose, the use of a drive plate almost stops the fatigue caused wheel bearing play and provides a stronger overall axle drive assembly.
• Our Diff upgrades kits come standard with a corrosion resistant Black powder coat finish, other optional colors are available at NO EXTRA COST! Not an additional extra like some manufacturers.
• We supply Billet Bisalloy 80 High Clearance U-Bolt plates as standard with our diff replacements. This gives you even more ground clearance then our competitors, added strength and support for the leaf spring pack and the tapered ends further allow the diff to slide UP and Over obstacles when offroad and these are provided at NO EXTRA COST!
• The replacement housing is built to precise factory dimensions and the 4140 chromoly spindles, allows you to retain all your factory brakes and bearings.
• The OE swaybar locations are retained on the Replacement housing, allowing the use of factory or aftermarket swaybars to customise the ride and handling.
• The chromoly housing is CNC machined to accept fitment of factory locked or unlocked third members
