Default Re: Alpha front axle

If you could get the CI housing and have the gears (I guess stub axle assemblies too) and a locker added then it would be a bolt-in operation.

I don't know how to set up ring and pinions so I would like to have a bolt-in unit or find some shop that could do it.

I'd rather not break the diff in the boonies if an upgrade is available.

? for those that have trashed the front diff

Did any you disconnect the front drive shaft and limp home in 4x2? I know the front wheels would still turn the axle and grind up the gears.


Trail Fix Trivia
With a full floating rear axle if rear the diff is broken you can pull out the rear axles and disconnet the rear driveshaft and come home in front wheel drive.

Same with solid front axle with locking hubs.
