Professionally Reconditioned with Premium Components

Every Nissan Patrol rear differential centre undergoes an extensive workshop overhaul. The housing and gear assembly are thoroughly stripped, cleaned and inspected. Rebuilt using high-grade Japanese bearings and seals, genuine components where required, and new gearsets, each unit undergoes strict setup procedures. Pinion bearing preloads, tooth contact patterns, and backlash are set to exact OEM tolerances for maximum durability and quiet operation.

Common Nissan Patrol Rear Differential Failures

Hard-driven Patrols—especially those used for heavy towing, touring, or harsh rock crawling—frequently develop collapsed pinion bearings, excessive ring and pinion backlash, worn or broken LSD clutch packs, and leaking pinion seals. Fitting a professionally rebuilt differential centre provides a far more dependable, long-term solution than taking a gamble on a second-hand unit with an uncertain history.
