#2. Strengthen Trackick Front Differentials With Calmini Anvil Front Axle Housing:

http://www.puresuzuki.com/anvil_axle.htm


#3. However, Calmini does NOT tell you that you ALSO need 26 spline differential side gears AND two 26 spline short axel shafts PLUS New Axle Output Shaft Seals PLUS New Axle Shaft Seals PLUS New CV Joint Boots!!!!

Topic: fixing the track/kick front housing BEFORE it breaks...

"You can also just pick up a Samurai steel diff and put the 5.12 gears in it. Then you can use the side gears required for your year, 22 or 26 spline.  An alternative to the Anvil is to build your own from a Samurai rear end."

Great info -- Thanks for sharing...    Also, if you find a late model Grand Vitara 5 speed 4wd -- some of them have steel housings that will swap in.

Suzuki's webpage does not list an "axle output shaft seal".

"Dave Woolworth" <dwoolworth@ttruck.com> replied:

Suzuki rear axle seals have a seal, and what they call a protector inside the axle housing. They also have a seal located under the bearing plate which bolts up to the backing plate. If you need help with installation procedures or getting parts, please feel free to contact.

Hi
I would assume that what they're calling the "axle output shaft seal" is probably the pinion seal -- or -- they may be referring to the seals at the knuckle end of the shaft.  The axle seal at the differential housing (OEM) is $13.95 each plus shipping.  The pinion seal is $10.95 each plus shipping.  If there's anything else, you know where to find us.
Thanks, Claudia

Dear Susan,
Thanks for writing. At first glance, I think that those are the exact same parts. I am however, researching the idea, and should have an answer for you tomorrow. Please let me know if there is anything else in the meantime.

Thank you, Joseph
