This genuine Nissan crown wheel and pinion gear set is the factory-correct solution for your Nissan Patrol's H233 front differential. With a precise 4.375:1 ratio, it's the critical component that transfers power to your front wheels and establishes the final drive. It serves as a direct replacement for a worn or damaged gear set, or as a popular upgrade to restore performance and correct speedometer readings after fitting larger tyres.
Ignoring worn or damaged diff gears can lead to a persistent whining or howling noise that increases with vehicle speed. If left unaddressed, this can escalate to catastrophic failure, where the gear teeth can shear off, locking up the front differential. This will result in a complete loss of drive to the front axle and can cause extensive collateral damage to the differential carrier, bearings, and housing, leading to a much more complex and expensive repair.
Installation of differential gears is a specialist job that requires precision tools to set the correct backlash and pinion depth. For this reason, we recommend professional installation. To ensure the longevity and reliability of your new gear set, it is essential to also install new differential bearings, seals, and use fresh, high-quality gear oil during the rebuild.
