Ring & Pinion question... (1 Viewer)

Are the ring and pinions on a stock 1994 80 the same for the front differential as for the rear differential?

Are they the same ratio and same part numbers?

Thanks,

No.
Yes.
No.

Front is reverse rotation, high pinion. Rear is standard LC. Both are 4.1.

Thanks for the quick response!. Just what I wanted to hear. My cruiser needs new front diff bearings, it whines and humms like no other and it is driving me krazy, I was able to order the parts from local dealer at a 25% discount with a coupon I got in the mail. I will have local drivetrain specialist do the job. Also he told me that I only need all the bearings, all seals some spacers and shims, but there is a chance that gears may be worned out. I just picked up a used set on ebay at a reasonable price and they happen to be high pinion, reverse cut out of 1993 LC. The seller claimed that they were in good shape and that he replaced them with higher ratio gears, w'll see what kind of shape they are in when I get them.
My '94 has factory lockers, does that make a difference on the gears?
Also can I send these gears to longfields for their cryogenic process?

Thanks
