Diff Building..

[njc11]

Im interested to know how people build there diffs!!

Ive searched on here and there seems to be a few different methods?

I clean thoroughly, use schu silicone diff lube on the balls, then put a thin layer on the plates..(is this too much) for the thrust race i use black teflon grease..

I get my diffs nice and smooth, but not as free as some ive tried..

Ive read on here somewhere you should get as free as a geared diff with no slip..

Also do people "wet&dry" the diff plates?

For setting.. tighten till you cannot physically turn the gear with your fingers?? Then in the car, tighten slipper.. then set so no " bark " both for front and rear..(any suggestions on checking for the front only?) then set slipper with about foot of slip...?? With doing it this way, should i then be able to hold the spur and say one rear wheel, then turn the opposite rear wheel and see the slipper slip?

Cheers
