Sierra and Vitara front diff carrier question

[Phizinza]

Are the 22 spline Vitara front diffs the same as the 22 spline Sierra front diffs? Just talking about the carrier, mainly the spider gears. I'm interested to know if a PowerTrax Lockrite 1510 will fit in a Vitara 22 spline front..

Thats the Lockrite list, under Samurai it lists 1986 to 1988 - 22 spline - 1510

ARB's list seems to say that is Sierra and Vitara front diffs are the same size for 22 spline model.

Anyone know?

Sorry to say I don't know for sure, but I would contact the vendors directly. I'm sure they could answer that for you. On a side note, it seems the trackick/vit aluminum front diff housing is a big issue for alot of ppl, it tends to break under heavy use/offroading etc. There is a mod where ppl use a sammy steel housing & modify it to fit trackick front mount & install the trackick carrier into it. It also stands up to lockers better from what I've read. Cmays07 recently posted about his broken front diff, & his pics look alot like others who have had similar experience. This site tends to be more OEM repair & not as much into the modding end of things. Here's a link that may help:
