My first 210 came out the first batch. built it nightmares with the ball diff. (after wrecking the first one) and being ridiculous over charged for circlips.

130Mile round trip 1st outing waste of time and money.

Ball diff bined gear diff put in.
Insult out comes the online manual. if ots that critical should it not be in the book?

New car builds lovely even diff with new found knowledge.
100 Mile round trip driveshaft falls out.
practice diff undoes its self
1St round driveshaft falls out
Remove droop still falls out
Remove up travel drives poo.

use other car drive shaft pops out.
Car was fine on low grip high grip lots of chassis roll pop out.

2 Cars a year apart same problem this isn't defective parts this is geometry not complemening the driveshaft length.


I have now sorted the problem in a rather drasic way.

I have machined the outer bearings 1.2mm further into the hub. Shimmed the driveshaft with the silver 410 diff shims. Flushed of the exess plastic efectivly making the hub 1mm thinner or the driveshafts 1mm longer job done.

But why should I have too?
