This guide provides instructions for removing and replacing the front differential of the Suzuki Grand Vitara. First, raise the vehicle and start by removing the front wheels; then disconnect the arm from the wishbone by unscrewing the central bolt.

At this point, drain the transmission oil by unscrewing the drain bolt, allowing it to drain into a container for about ten minutes; now disconnect the side joint pin of the differential by unplugging the electrical connector to remove it and replace it with the new one!
