Can I jack the Duster up on the rear diff? I wanna check the ratio and see if it's a suregrip.
Cheers

Yes, but don't go under there without any stands!

Bought as a package deal......

or if no stands get someone you don't really like to check for you

.....or just rev the nuts off it, and slap it in first. 1 line = gay axle

Chock the front wheels if you have a free running jack and you're on a slope!

If you arent on a slope and have a free running jack, chock the wheels just for the hell of it.

Cheers Guy's,
I,ve got stands down at the lock up and just a normal trolly jack. I was tempted to just jack it up under the diff but did not want to risk it. Funnly enough when I floored it on gravel I left two deep churn marks in it so thats why I wanna check to see if its got a suregrip.

Thanks guys!

You don't need to get under it to check, just lift the diff so the wheels are an inch off the ground, grab one wheel and give it a turn, if the other wheel spins the same way, you've got a sure grip.

Works for me!

As Igor sez, but in neutral with handbrake off!

You should be able to scope out one of the ujs corners that can be used as a datum to roughly check the ratio.

1 turn of the wheel, 4 turns of the diff plus a 1/10th is what you need!

Anything less is a bit theatrical.......
