Or do it yourself!

DIY is easy if you have bought a complete pumpkin.

If its the center; I've enquired and every one I've called so far want around $300-$800 as they 'have' to replace bearings and said they won't do it otherwise. Load of crap.. To simply throw on a crown wheel and possibly adjust clearances.. Std bearings are fine.

I got my diff centre installed for $80

It was the Kaaz 1.5 way that some people are doing for $1050 delivered. Comes with carrier bearings etc, so they just have to setup the lash and preload.

They did want $550 if I just dropped the car off to them though, so took diff out myself.

That was the cheapest price I could get though, but it was through a very well established comapny (Diff and Trans SA, been around since 1967). Other places were after 200+ just to put the centre in.

Shop around

haha i just got a quote to fit my kaaz 2way centre. said 485 if the diff is in the car, 325 if out. they make it sound complicated like it could need a full service or something.

The Kaaz ones come with everything. Guy said it was damn easy to fit.

Keep shopping around

And if you can, take the diff out yourself, it's not hard, get a mate to help you though, its quite heavy...
