Currently rebuilding my gen 2 differential xk 2007-2009 looking for parts numbers for all the bearings/seal (carrier and both pinon bearings) also the crush washer & snap ring whilst im at it
Can anyone help with this ??

Interesting... I have the Gen 1, And it doesn't need rebuilding... yet. I have been changing the fluid every 60K kms. Fingers crossed. Best of luck!

 

How does one know if they have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 diff?
I seem to recall someone rebuilding a diff here, maybe it was @Ranchero50 in his ‘Green Turtle…’ thread?

 

If you have a 4.2l regardless of it being R or n/a and in the x150 chassis/range it's definitely a gen2.
They were also fitted to
Xf , xj , s-type however to my knowledge no 4.0 ever came gen 2 (they were gen 1) only the 4.2's & 3.9's from Thunderbird & 03-06 Lincoln Ls received them.

 

FYI...

I have the Gen 1.

Incidentally, you may find the part numbers you are looking for in this thread: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...arings-102296/

 

Thanks Jeff!

 

Differential stripped and components cleaned just waiting on seals & bearings to arrive from the U S

 

Finally got around to putting this back together - pinon peload set on the new bearings

Just have carrier bearing cap to torque down - can someone help me out on torque specs normally it's around 100nm but I can't find anything

 

i know, i know...
But there are torque specs listed here:
https://www.diyford.com/ford-9-inch-...mber-assembly/
and here:
https://performanceparts.ford.com/do...htM-4209-8.pdf

 

I just checked the links they're for a completely differential (although in their specific application they went 80ft lbs/ 108nm on bearing carrier caps)

 

sorry Steve, meant to take the readings from the FoMoCo 8" Racing differential, which ours is derived.
You probably noticed that in our workshop manual, not all the torques are provided.

 

I saw that , I think I'll simply torque it down to 100nm run some loctite and call it a day ..done

 

btw, nice job! Surprised you didn't drop the Quaife in there while it was apart.

 

Things are looking good oil seals installed for the CV shafts, carrier bearing cap torqued down and retaining circlip also installed just have the rear cover to go .

Yeah I was thinking i'll see how the new ratio (3.58) comes along then decide on which diff I'll put a quaife in .

* Note on setting pinon preload
Once the play is completely out of the pinnon work the pinnon nut in small increments , then measure the drag be very cautious as pinnon preload comes around extremely quickly stick to your "1/8 of a turn" procedure

 

How much would shipping my diff to AU set me back ;-)

 

Let me try and get a posi in one of them first I have another spare diff here I'm going to strip down

 

Rebuilt 3.58 diff finally swapped out today (the OEM diff was caked up looking very nasty) ..everything seems to be good filled it up with 80-140 and looking to run it in over the next 2 weeks

 

Nicely done!
