Mike Bees Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi Jamie, You'll notice when you take the old diff out that there are packing washers (possibly some thin ones and some thick ones) between the bolts and the bushes (I'm talking about the bolts holding the diff in to the chassis). When you put the 'new' diff in then you need to put sufficient washers in everywhere to (a) just fill the empty space, and (b) centralise the diff (measured out to the chassis rails either side). Easiest way to do this is to put the diff and all it's bolts in without any washers, centralise it, then offer up stacks of washers to the gaps to work out what you need. Then one by one remove the bolts and replace with the appropriate stack of washers - this is much easier if you tape the washers together. Hope this helps.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted April 15, 2005 Support Team Share Posted April 15, 2005 The values are in the online build manual here. Warning - it's a large file! Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
