Question Need front differential - got one?

I have a 2003 C4S that has a bearing going out. Anyone gone 2WD that has a front diff for sale please email me.

Thanks,
DC4

Mike (Mikelly) just converted his to a 2WD. Maybe ping him and see if he want to part with it.

So does the 996. The problem is that (while guys have done the conversion) the seats were not delivered nor an option and I have a feeling the insurance company would have a problem should the unthinkable happen (children riding in back and injured).

I'll just add a GT3 to the stable when the time is right. If I was thinking clearly I would have got a Turbo CAB and a GT3 and sold my wife's 996 CAB.

Anybody have an exploded parts drawing for a 996 MK-II front differential. My Indy said he cannot find any drawings calling out the individual parts, and wants to swap the diff rather than change out bearings.
