Ceramic Balls and Circlip?

[av4625]

What ciramic balls are people running and what circlip are you running in your ball diff? part numbers or links would be appreciated!

FWIW, I'm running Buds Balls and using the standard circlip (installed the correct way round with proper circlip pliers). I use the balls loose in the thrust but still use the "grooved" plates.

I was just about to start a post like this because I am about to rebuild my diff and build a new one. Hope people reply soon

I've just built mine the same as I used to do with the Schumacher Diff. Sand the diff rings both sides, kit circlip is ok if as mentioned you install it correctly and the right way up. I didn't have ceramic balls only kit but it will do for now. Feels really good. I tightened it right up then backed it off 90*.

I'm with these guys standered circlip is fine just put it in the right way. There's a rounded side and a flat side. I only use it a couple times then throw it out.

Sanding the diff rings is a must or buy them sanded, and I like B-fast diff balls.

Buds balls and standard circlip

I bought my durangos from the French importer on the Durango website. Their ceramic diff balls came with an upgraded c clip which so far has been fine. The original clip failed after 2 meetings.
