Are any later Outback rear differentials, 2000 and beyond, interchangeable with my 96? Also, what is locking verses non-locking. Will have to replace mine soon.

January 26, 201016 yr Author we need to know more about your 96 in order to help you. engine, trans, miles what makes you think you need a new rear diff.? they don't fail often. maybe it is "torque bind". locking is a viscous limited slip differential, vlsd. when one wheel spins the other wheel still pulls. non-locking is an open diff. when one wheel spins the other wheel just sits there.

If you have a manual transmission check the transmission charts in the USRM to see which tranny you have and which rear diffs will fit with it. The chart will also tell you which other models have the rear diff you might need.
