Bell Raceworks Diff Brace Install

jchammond · 02-16-2019, 04:13 AM

A tight fit; reminds me of a little work I did fitting a +38 offset 19x12 w/345/30’s on rear...with minimal negative camber. Traction arm’s had to be shaved a bit & different headed bolts

That's why I did'nt post a review of their metal 3 bolt gaskets. They should be appropriately named "fackyaself" gaskets. You go through all that heartache for a leak then as soon as you do a shakedown you have to do it again to replace the leaking fix for the leaks.

Switched out to the FI 3 bolt gasket and no more gasket leak. Just sucked to have to go through that twice in 7 days. Made worse by the fact it was done on jack stands and the whole front half of the exhaust and the turbo and manifold had to be dropped.......twice.
