Diff Bearings for (Quaife LSD)

Post by sheheen29 »

Hi Guys

I'm looking to purchase diff bearings for my Quaife 020 lsd (109mm).

Could I perhaps get the bearing code so that I could buy them. Is there any recommended brand that works well that I should buy. I need some advice with regards the this stuff as I'm trying to source whatever else is needed to get it fitted.

Thanks in advance....

I bought these diff bolts from M-trac. Just want to ensure they will be good enough. Any feedback on them

I Wwould rather go for hi tenstile 12.1 bolts that is not fully threaded to get more surface area through the diff flange and ring gear.

Also need to check clearance of bolt head to casing once installed. Same apllies on nut end as well.

Nut should also have a flat integrated washer shoulder for better clamping force as these might just undo themselves after some time and then destroying the gearbox casing.

oops!!! Double post
