90 ls400 diff question
first off i did searched but found nothing useful
my question is what diffs are interchangable for the 90 ls400 cause i found a 96 ls400 at a local u-pull-it.

the internals are interchangeable, the cases are not.
'89-94, 95-97, and 98-00 all had different diffs and mounting configurations.

no, no lexus ever came with an LSD before the 2001/2002 IS300.
as it's unrelated to this thread, i suggest you search the LS400 forum for "LSD*" without the quotes but with the star for more information.

Direct bolt in,, no problems - 89-94. As Puredrifter stated,, the internals with the different years are all the same, however the case sizes are different.

if you're still running the '96 rear subframe then it was a tagging error as the '98-00 rear end won't bolt in.
plus you would see a performance loss as the ratio is taller in the '98-00.
