jim46 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi all, just started diff build on xray xb8e kit, diffs are all built as per manual, its the fitting into diff housing and shimming that dont seem right, i have used a shim each side of bearings to help get get correct mesh between ring gear and pinion, this seems good with no side to side movement once fitted in housing, and mesh feels good, its the lateral movement thats bad once fitted in housing and checked for free play, i grab each outdrive and its like the bearings are not a tight fit in the diff case so loads of movement, seems to loose, but checked the bearings and they are a good fit, its like the whole diff, ring gear moves around which would cause you loose the mesh and damage the gears, what am doing wrong here, cant fit any more shims in.

neil.b Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Are you sure its not just the out drive that's moving in the diff casing and not the actual diff casing itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
