Yes, that very fitting. The one that connects to your dash. It has a hex type head on it below the connector.

Axle shaft diameter?

Off the top of your heads, what is the diameter of the 28 spline axle shafts? Not the axle tubes, but the axle shafts. Can't seem to find an answer on the interwebs or anywhere else. Thanks.

Re: S60 Rear

The lightest of the three is the 12 bolt I believe and the most efficient given the size of the ring gear. It's a very tough unit. 400rwhp? No problem for this thing.

Re: help need gears..

I see Torsen diffs on Ebay with gears pretty often. I don't think you'll find one with 3.73's but you never know. Are you absolutely set on 3.73? A 3.42 is a nice alt and more plentiful.
