|
|
Anyone got any experience of using these?
My Pajero (2011 3.8L SWB G4) has developed the dreaded diff noise that seems to be pretty common.... was looking for some Liqi Moly Molybdenum based additive but cant source it here. Managed to get some Mopar additiive with is LSD (not fitted) safe (same additive as used as OE in the 4x4 diffs). Curious to see if it will slow the wear down (which I believe comes from loss of case hardening from wear due to backlash setting going out on the diff) and dampen down some of the noise (between 80-110km/h).
Thoughts and experince welcome.... |

Have a look online for "Lucas oil products" I've used it in the past with good results, although for power steering on a Range Rover, it worked fine.

i used the same stuff on a sprinter van the steering rack made that much noise you could here it a mile away once drained and filled with lucas the noise pretty much went straight away,the lad had it for about 2 years before he traded it in,ironic the garage said he needed a new rack at over £300 fixed by an £8 bottle of lucas steering fix |
