Looking at putting an LSD in my ride.
The problem I am having is who would do the work?
I doubt the dealer would install it for me.
Also will this installation void my warranty???
I can see a problem down the line if I were to have problems.
Has anyone had any warranty issues with this??

It won't void your warranty but if any parts fail that are connected to it or they can say we're connected to it may not be covered.

Perfect answer

(Kinda. You don't want the dealer to install a diff, have a performance shop install and shim it)

As others have said this will not void your warranty. The most the dealer could get away with is saying no to a claim if it was caused by the LSD.

As far as who to go to for the install, the answer is simple. Z Speed. They're in the Dayton area which according to your location is where you are. Joe there installed my Quaife back in April and really took care of me.

I'd also probably replace the diff mount bushing while you're in there as the factory bushing is prone to failure.

The Definitive Differential Thread

This thread has all the Q&A's to upgrade your diff. When I got mine put in at a good dealer they said i voided my warranty for the diff but that was it. Everything else is good. But I blew a diff bushing the 3rd autox having it. So upgrade that chit when you have it all out. I went with SPL but I almost regret it now... Almost. But it is tight like a freshly recruited hooker. For a DD I would just settle for the whiteline.
