I wonder if the carrier bearings are the same size in both the Suzuki and the Sportage? I suppose that a few phone calls to NAPA or one of the gear and axle companies might answer that question quicker than waiting for ARB to disect your diff.


Could we leave that in your hands???

At this point, there seems to be no info as to whether it would be easier for ARB to build a front locker or a pre '94 rear locker, assuming the Suzuki splines will fit.


However.....the ring gears are larger, and therefore would need a different hemisphere and possibly different spider/sidegear set (assuming the hemisphere is larger dia -> larger gears, ie, "scaling up"). This may mean new axles would be the easiest/cheapest way to go if we use (for example) an 8" Toyota center in the rear. (27 spline I think)
