Diff tips
The diff in my 210 slipped on its first runs out.
On closer inspection I found that some of the oil left on the diff halves from the manufacturing process had mixed with the diff lube. I would say that it is very important to ensure all diff parts are thoroughly cleaned before building. I rebuilt my diff after a thorough cleaning and all is good now. Whilst I had the diff apart I fitted some Lazy balls. These are some of the best diff balls I have used! Really smooth diff action. |

I tested both my diffs last sunday on a high grip carpet track without problem. I don't know in which way i installed the clips, it seems to work either way.
Is it the way you install them (how much you compress) or pure luck? Anyway, i don't see a problem, and if Durango did on their tests they should have did something about it. |

have you measured the thrust washers and put the smaller one in first then the caged thrust ball then the larger thrust washer. I helped a friend build his and ran on carpet last night after we broke it in and all is tight and smooth as butter. And on another note the ball cups idk what happened but he hit a few things that were not gonna move pretty good and no issues with his cups.

The diff balls/thrust in the kit carbide? Just want to know if I should invest in some before the build.

The orientation does not have any issues on performance, but good engineering practice should be to have the square edge in the direction you insert the clip to give a more positive engagement. These clips are just stamped out. Using the kit one with no issues at all.

the stock diff built with associated thrust grease and stealth grease make for a diff thats smooth as butter. If you were to upgrade later carbide diff balls and ceramic thrust is the way to go. just my .02

Bought some Schumacher circlips (U2631) after reading this thread to keep in my pit bag.
I broke the original circlip in my diff last night so today I tried the Schumacher circlip and it too big to fit in the our drive Anyone know why this could be? Cannot find the original TD circlip in stock any where either Help anyone **EDIT** Just looked on Schumacher's web site and the clips pictured are different to the clips I have! I get all the 'E' & 'C' clips but only 2 circlips! the pic on there site shows 5 circlips! Last edited by 4_cell_racer; 01-11-2011 at 05:15 PM. Reason: added more txt |

My Durango kit circlip felt quite weak by the time I'd rebuilt it numerous times to rid the 'lump' a bent clip gives you, so I'm also keen to learn which clip people are using? |
