ap1 Differential Help
CALLING ALL FELLOW GEAR HEADS WITH ANY ADVICE
Okay to keep it short and to the point...
CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME LISTINGS AND PARTS NUMBERS TO COORDINATING GEARS, SEALS, PINIONS, ECT THAT I COULD ORDER TO REBUILD MY DIFF.
EG KIA SPORTAGE GEARS I'VE READ ARE DIRECTLY SWAPPABLE TO THE S HOUSING...
I AM INTERESTED IN 4.10 GEARS OR A LITTLE LOWER AS I HAVE AN AP2 MOTOR IN AN 2001 AP1 PLANNING TO BOOST SOON (LOW BOOST 10 PSI OR LESS).
Thanks for all and any help

My car has something wrong with its steering after being t-boned rear driver side. THANK YOU LADY FOR TEXTING WHILE DRIVING >
I am looking to rebuild the differential in my car as honda has failed me with refurbished axles and neglected to look into possible drive train damage after the S being t-boned. wheel was shattered and so was axle.
I have been on the prowl for an ap1 replacement dif but cant find any around and i missed out on one with the 4.77 gears from a friend but i plan to in the future install my turbo that has taken 3 years to piece together so shorter gears probably a step in the wrong direction considering...
BTW...
I have since the accident repair taken my s to two more honda shops and they could not help me, in fact I had to walk them through simple things like rotating tires listening for sounds checking alignment and eventually was able to get a mechanic to get in the driver seat with the car lifted eventually spotting the warped "replaced" driver side rear axle. I paid them 50 dollars for a diagnostic that I ended up doing, :/
I like to work on cars and my motorcycle and will try to tackle any problem to the best of my ability you have to invest time or money and I dont have much of the latter.
if you have any other questions or wish to inquire feel free to ask

I am going to my car shop on base tomorrow and going to inspect more and will post my findings
The s was hit straight on perpendicular to the driver side rear wheel shattering the axle and the wheel
I was hit so hard my car spun 270 degrees
I was told by the original honda mechanic nothing would be broken/damaged accept what was already visually broken... So they replaced the broken wheel and axle
But replaced it with a warped refurbished one and I had to fix that upon my return from war 4 weeks ago
My car is still pullin right and left I'm going to check bearings, cv joints w axles again & control arms
For Any type of distortion
But from what I've read and from the response of my cars acceleration and decel all I can think is that it's originating from my diff...
No proof and as I'm not a weathered mechanic please forgive my ignorance and I hope I'm wrong?
Thanks for ur time

Car pulling left and right on accel/decel is 95% tire induced.
Rear tire brand, size, wear, age, and pressure must be an exact match.
If you have one new tire installed due to an accident, then that is your problem.

I do not think your problem is the differential as others have already suggested, however there are several complete units available without building your own. Properly assembling a differential is somewhat difficult and requires a few special tools. Not to mention Honda lists the ring and pinion at almost $600 alone. That's without seals, bearings, shims and clips. Here's just one on eBay. eBay Diff
