Aluminum Diff Collar

nosnorb_808 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:01 pm

Where can I get an aluminum diff collar from? Ive heard about it & how it supposed to strengthen the front diff. Someone please point me in the right direction.

I second that motion...I broke the front diff while traveling down a snowy road and hitting a rock not seen because of the snow

That was before the skids of coarse :shock:

Thats also when I found out the Libbys dont come with factory skids

THANKS MOPAR :evil:

It was a good road that I had been on before, but not in a vehicle with such low clearance. Could have been anybody :wink:

If you use "and" in quotation marks between each word it will reduce the search results considerably. Just typing in aluminum diff collar means that the search engine is looking for one of the three words in every message, "and" means that all three words have to show up in every message. The entire search term in quotes means the exact sentence or search term has to show up in the message, which means you will get almost nothing, or nothing, for results. Hope that helps.

From what I read it looks like the steel collars need to be machined out a little bit. I didnt notice anything about the aluminum collar having to be machined out. Did I miss anything? Just trying to figure what all is needed to install this collar.

If you buy a steel collar, the differences in metals may cause you issues down the road. I'd spend a little more and get the aluminum collar.

Would be nice if someone had an extra for sale or a used one.

Are you trolling for a group buy? :lol:

If so, I am in for an aluminium one. Finding one up in BC was going to be my project this week.

I am always trying to start up group buys. Still trying to get a group buy on L.O.S.T trail edition badges. :wink:

I would be interested in the diff collar as well, always hard to get parts here in Saskatchewan.
