Cracked Front Differential Cover - Land Rovers Only

Roving Westward · 09-19-2004, 06:13 PM

Does any one have any ideas on how to repair a cracked front diff cover? Looks like the 95 LWB I picked up a few weeks ago (and I do love it) must have rammed something hard enough to create a small crack on it's bottom "lip," and it is dripping gear oil. If I have to replace the cover, anyone know of a good deal on one? Thanks!

We can order you a replacement weld on cover in either stock form or HD.

Checkout www.get-rhino.com or give me a ring 904-260-3373.

Weld the crack up, or if you cant, then find someone who can

Thanks for the replies. My mechanic has pulled it off and is going to weld it. (I wasn't sure it would hold a weld and was afraid I would have to swing for a remanufactured housing.) So good news. Thanks!

It is cheap / thin metal. Weld it up and then seriously consider a differential guard if you intend to go offroad.
