changing ratio
If i were to change the gear ratio to a 4.11 will the rear differential bolt up out of a Legacy?
The problem is the teeth got chewed up on my front differential. I have a cpl of trans out of Legacys that have good differentials. |

It would be a great time to change out your differential mount bushings, they are probably worn. Doug

Re: Changing Ratio
As asked in the previous post, are there any special considerations and adjustments to be made when swapping out the SVX rear diff? In my case a 4.44.

Re: Changing Ratio
to be honest, bring OT's writeup to a shop and have them set the gears up for you... Worth it to have a little piece of mind
