So I had my VX up on a lift this weekend getting it prepped for Moab and while adjusting my e-brake we noticed that my rear diff doesn't seem to be locking up the way it should be. I changed the fluid with an LSD additive last year before Moab and have only driven about 7000 miles since then.
I had one brake tightened up a little much and put it in gear and only one rear wheel was spinning. I gave it some gas and still nothing. If I spin one wheel by hand, it turn the other one the opposite direction. If I turn one of the front wheels by hand, the other side front doesn't move much but the rear wheels spin together. Between me and my boss (I work at a shop) we decided that my LSD in the rear must be wearing out. I haven't found any threads on rebuilding it, but I'm not as good at the search engine as some others around here.
So basically, I'm wondering if it is indeed worn out and whats available for rebuild kits. Any options for getting more aggressive lock-up out of it as well?
Edit: Did a little looking and Indy4X has used LSD's for $150. Sounds like a good way to go so I don't have to mess with rebuilding mine, but I'm still looking for other suggestions and options.
