Did you replace the side bearings? If so, do you have the part number?
Thanks

Chris is mistaken. We replaced the side bearings as it's not possible to remove them from the old diff without likely damage. We did NOT replace the side seals because they looked perfectly new and had very low miles on them. No reason to change them out.

Guess I had it backwards then.

Thanks guys! Definitely the part I thought it was. I also heard they were pretty tough to get on there.

Also keep in mind with the OS LSD you will need 2 of the Right Side stub axles, NOT 1 L and 1 R. Oh and yes, they can sometimes be a huge pain to get in there

Right. I'm actually putting a Quaife into my base open diff and it shouldn't require any axle stubs.

Ok...so let's say you have a Sport model with the factory LSD. Would the OS Giken LSD be a good idea? Would it make that much if a difference? And in that case what parts would I need?

I read everything but it appears the discussion was geared (LOL) towards the no LSD base models.
