DEX210 ball diff - now featuring on the Krypton Factor

[Loheswaran]

The Dex 210 diff is a flipping nightmare.

I built it first time - no problem.

After that - lousy - I had to get the gear diff - I am sure that the ball diff is a ploy for you to buy the gear diff!

I have purchased answer ceramic balls and the ceramic thrust bearings. Still lousy. changed the circlip (and yes I used the right pliers) still nothing.

I am no idiot with diff building having done plenty of 1/12 diff builds, and am, believe it or not, known for my diff building in the on-road world.

That's my rant done with.

What is doing, I must say my two have been rebuilt several times using the stock parts

Some people say that ceramic balls cause problems as due to being so hard they don't grip the plates as well as carbide. This is a very good thread:

Try using carbide diff balls and ceramic thrust balls. I changed mine from the stock carbon chrome to tungsten carbide the other day, i've bedded it in and run about 3 packs through it and it seems OK.

I know the stock balls are very bad, and the standard outdrives are too short. Also, I have to admit mine is nearly cranked to full tension, but at that level it doesn't seem to slip or wear, and it's much smoother than the diff from a TRF201 (my previous car).

What exactly are the issues you're having with it?

[CARB]

Yes go with the carbide balls every time, although I am using the standard ones, are you getting the cherping noise as I had this and thought it was the diff only to discover it was the slipper clutch.

built my diff with buds silky smooth balls and never had an ounce of bother with it

follow the build guide on the durango website and remember that the thrust spacer are 2 different sizes and shapes
