johnceggleston Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) fiddilin jay New User Join Date: Jan 2010 City: Garner Posts: 1 1996 Outback differential Hey Subaru enthusiasts - a couple of questions regarding rear differentials. Are any later Outback rear differentials, 2000 and beyond, interchangeable with my 96? Also, what is locking verses non-locking. Will have to replace mine soon.

johnceggleston Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) we need to know more about your 96 in order to help you. engine, trans, miles what makes you think you need a new rear diff.? they don't fail often. maybe it is "torque bind". locking is a viscous limited slip differential, vlsd. when one wheel spins the other wheel still pulls. non-locking is an open diff. when one wheel spins the other wheel just sits there.

If you have a manual transmission check the transmission charts in the USRM to see which tranny you have and which rear diffs will fit with it. The chart will also tell you which other models have the rear diff you might need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_subie Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 If it's a 4.111 just find a 4.111 rear diff and it should bolt on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
