FOLLOW THIS HANDY TIP TO INSTALL PIVOT BALLS INTO COMPOSITE BALL JOINTS.
Place the pivot ball on the
ball joint and use a screw
to tighten it to an engine
mount or some other part.
In the event that the composite diff bulkhead allows too much diff side play, this may create non-optimal gear mesh between the diff spur gear and the
pinion drive gear. This is easily resolved by inserting 1 or 2 of the included thin shims behind a diff outdrive ball-bearing, depending on how much play
there is.
FRONT & REAR DIFF GEAR MESH ADJUSTMENT
THE LOCATION OF THE SHIM(S) DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU ARE TRYING TO CLOSE OR OPEN THE GAP:
To close a wide gap: add 1 or 2
shims against diff spur gear
TO CLOSE A WIDE GAP
TO OPEN A NARROW GAP
To open a narrow gap: add 1 or 2
shims on the other side of the diff,
away from spur gear
