My understanding is this:

If you have a 97 or older Sportage you can use the same diff front or rear, so you could use the OBX lockers with no problems.

If you have a 98 or newer Sportage you cannot use the same diff front or rear. The reason is in 98 KIA changed the rear axle spline count from 26 spline to 28 spline.

However, if you change out the axel shafts for 97 or newer axel shafts you can use the OXB locker. All other parts are exactly the same.

Can anyone confirm this. That a 97 or older sportage has the same differential centre front and rear?
