Title: Easy guidelines for differential setup
Post by: Grumpyoldman on September 26, 2011, 03:23:29 PM

Ring & pinion gears are designed to be set-up and run with exact tolerances. Replacing all parts every time a differential is worked on is not only unnecessary, but is ridiculous. However, any gear misalignment or deflection under load caused by worn or questionable parts, can lead to early failure that can cost a lot more than the price of replacing them the first time. Use your best judgment and remember that fixing your differential again, if it fails, will take as much time and money as it did the first time.
