I see you're in Australia. If that's the case and you have the 2.5 diesel. You probably already have the 3.54 gears.4xponder wrote:I have been reading posts about how the ring gear? has been ground to allow an ARB rear locker to work in a R230 diff.
any information on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, what i have is the R230 rear diff in a petrol pathy, the gear ratio is listed at 3.357NmexMAX wrote:Look at these lists, and verify what you have (model differential and gears), and then see what's available.

ARB states in their application chart
RD137 does not suit ratio up to 3.36:1 due to RG offset."
It is this following comment that i am trying to get more information on.
As for the R230(V8 rear), the ring gear needs to be ground down equally on US models since the offset is incorrect and designed for 3.54 gearing, this is the RD137 model locker.
