Acceptable gear backlash for the Mfactory unit is (0.003 - 0.009 acceptable), per the install PDF guide from Team MFactory

Nice ending bro❤️

[@michaelblacktree]

Thanks!

[@Kinetic-Motorsports]

Thanks for the video and detailed instructions! I have all my parts and tools other than new MFactory bearings. ECS/Turner unfortunately shipped the kit with seals and ring gear bolts without the bearings, and there seems to be an inventory issue. I was on the fence on replacing the bearings due to the cost, but now that availability is a bigger challenge then expected; did you test the bearings for proper movement and they seemed okay? Just trying to make the right decision and not grenade my new LSD. Any recommendations and guidance you can provide would be helpful!

Did you get the friction disc LSD or the helical? I'm planning on doing the friction disc one, mainly because I occasionally get the inside wheel off the ground while racing, and the helical really has a issue with that

[@michaelblacktree]

I went helical, because it's basically maintenance free.

[@umvr]

It's been a little difficult to find a real world review of the LSD, so I would like to see a follow up on it.

[@michaelblacktree]

Good idea. I'll keep that in mind.

[@maestro7028]

[@mry82]
