Hi,

I tried searching and came up with nothing. There was a member who did welded differential service. I think he had a white FD with a LS1 conversion. Anyone know who it is?

 

Probably Luke from shockdrifting.

I know he has a white LS1 FD and I heard his shop welds diffs. You may want to contact him.

 

if this is a street car id advise against it

 

i know tons of people who run welded diff on the street. all it does is make the tires skip during tight corners, like parking and u-turns. the benefit greatly outweighs the cost if you go drifting all the time.

but yea, contact luke. he's been doing it for years and none has ever broken.

or visit the shop in santa clara.

ok ...so if you had a car with welded diff ...and you werent ever planning to drift ... what is involved in replacing this?

 

the whole diff... you need a new one. the housing should be fine, but you will need new internals

 

If your on the East coast-I can aslo weld the diff for you. I have diffs in high 8sec cars that have not failed, so I would say I do an OK job.

 

any idea what it would cost to replace a welded diff to return it to "normal"?

 

basically buy a new diff.

 

so any ideas as to the cost of a new diff? i was used to a pretty much stock 7 ...
