Looking for rear diff advice

[Defenders]

I have a 2016 Defender with a Salisbury rear diff that's shot from wear and driving with a slightly long prop shaft. I'd like to avoid spending $5K on a full axle, are there assembled diffs available, or is reconditioning just as expensive? Any tips or units for sale?

Reconditioned Salisbury differentials typically cost between $2000 and $3000, which is still quite pricey. You might want to look into Ashcroft Transmissions or Turner Engineering for rebuilt options. Alternatively, you could consider used diffs from salvage yards, as they might be a more budget-friendly choice, provided you can confirm their condition.

You could look for a reconditioned Salisbury rear diff, it's usually cheaper than a full axle swap. Some shops sell assembled units ready to bolt in

Thanks for the info! I'll check out Ashcroft and Turner Engineering for rebuilt Salisbury diffs, and also keep an eye on salvage yards, I hope I can find a solid, more affordable option

Good tip, thanks, I'll start checking for reconditioned Salisbury diffs and see if I can find a ready-to-install assembled unit
