Would that be applicable to a ej r160?

if it is one of the series 1 gen1 or gen 2 with the male stubs AFAIK it is the same differential.
if Im incorrect it will become apparent
when someone else posts differently

Gen 1 - correct.
Gen 2 has female stubs hence CV joints needs to be male-male ends.
What specific information are you after H-Top?

If you send me a pm with your email address I'll send you an excell sheet and the page from a '92 factory liberty manual on calculating preload and shim requirements.
Cheers,
