Diff Building..

[Lee Dyson]

You cant really go too wrong building a smooth diff. You can wet dry the plates just helps reduce diff slip and flattens the plates (gets rid of high spots) but personally i dont bother with I trust xray have pressed them well for my touring car diffs .

People swear by schumacher diff lube and associated black grease and is what i tend to use. The main thing to made it smooth clean and keep everything flush and renew parts regularly. I tend to use carbide balls aswell theyre a bit harder and last longer than my kit xray ones.

You can also use a shock foam inside the outdrive which does help keep dirt out of the thrust lengthens the time of rebuilding the diff again.

I did use a tutorial from radio race car magazine where they did a step by step guide to building a diff was really handy. Think it went as far as having a slave motor attached to bed it in bit ott to be honest.

Just to clear something up...

Diff plates are ground... You'll never get them "flatter" with wet n dry, all you'll do is make them worse.

I clean everything off as well as i can, use a tiny amount of cear (i prefer associated) grease on the outdrive, put the ring onto it, and clean off any excess, then put a tiny smear on both rings, nothing on the balls or the gear. thrust race i use black (again associated) and plenty of it.
