Quaife LSD install advice?

JARblue

Make sure you have the right stub axles. Won't know if you need shims until you crack it open. I think for most people that know what they're doing it's not too bad of an install.

Not a Quaife install, but a detailed write up is always useful to see what you're getting into: DIY - Limited Slip Differential Install

Thanks man. Yea as far as stub axles go, I should not need any, Z1 and Quaife say that if you have a Base model and Manual trans none are required when upgrading to an LSD. But as you said shims we wont know haha.

You need a dial indicator to measure backlash before you remove the carrier and after install. The ones that I have measure all read between .003" to .006". You should also do a pattern check on the gears before and after install. When you remove the shims. Use a mike to measure the thickness. If they are the same thickness, then it doesn't matter what side they go back in. If they are different thicknesses. Install them back in the same side they was in. Then measure your backlash. If it's too tight or too loose. Switch the shims side to side and remeasure. If the backlash is still not in spec, then you need different shims.

When installing and torquing the bolts for the ring gear bolts. The lock-tite goes on the threads. The lube goes under the bolt head flange, not on the threads. It's confusing the way the manual has it described.
