IRS Diff

Post by fxfjholden.com »

Ive got a VP IRS in my FJ panelvan. It fitted in without any modification to the IRS cradle. It allows us to run ABS brakes on it.

Be careful with the IRS in commodores as mine is a VP one the VS although the same size cradle didnt fit, (wheels stuck out at least another inch)

I have attached a pic.

Here is a pic of what the IRS looks like outside the car

The reason we put it in a van was the chassis. A sedan may require a little more work.

Looking at the photo i would say the pinion is off centre so i'd imagine that the half shafts are equal length ?

Only the Commodores pre-VL had unequal length axles.

All the Borg Warner diffs use equal length.
