I have the genIII (2001) Montero and I'm adding the ARB to the front next week. This will be my first vehicle with a front diff and I've reasearched the do's and don'ts of driving with the front diff engaged.

I've also heard (in other vehicles) of tie rods being susceptible to breaking as well as CV shafts.

So, I would like to find out what the weak spots are for the Gen III trucks and plan ahead by keeping spares onboard.

Any advice? Has anyone had any issues with the CVÆs breaking more often than the tie rods or vice versa?

If itÆs the tie rods, which one? The inner tie rod or the outer one with the ball joint?

I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Regards,

Tony
