My Build

Hopefully this lot stays together for a while

This is the last chance for this crank.  Any more damage and it will have to be pulled. We're pretty confident that this will work. Now to fix the diff center bushes. What's is everyone using these days? Whiteline? Superpro?

[Puffwagon]

There's only one bush in the centre and it relies on the diff hat and bolt not sh*tting the bed. Look into the IMS diff hat.

I think HI PSI already has IMS diff hat because I thought he told me once and said they awesome. I can confirm they are great now after taking on the project myself and fitting one to my Slow xr6t. No more clonks and clunks.

The IMS hat is indeed the best option for these cars. Especially when planning on making power. I wish that IMS would o'ring the cover so that the hat will stop leaking on the mounting face. Mine will be upgraded when I decide to pull the IRS for the bushes. If funds allow, I'll also install some new gears the true-Trac that's be on the shelf for the past 4 years.

 

I went trough some old posts and I note that Dan (CAT600) stated that the K-Mac front bushes were a lot like his design. I'll look into suppliers over the next few days. 

 

I am inclined to think that centre bearing has give up the ghost also. You just gotta love cars...

@HI PSI have your 2 bushes that came on your ims hat worn out?

[HI PSI]

The IMS bushes are fine. The two outer diff bushes are the ones that have deteriorated.
