WTB toyota 8" 4:88 ring an pinion

[aweber]

I've hear you have to put a lot of load on the carrier bearings to keep them tight. Who setup the diff?

+1 - Cranking the shit out of the side adjusters make them last a lot longer. (less deflection)

guys I don't know who set up these diffs. the one in my truck now I set up. as soon as winter is over before spring fling hopefully ill remove it and inspect and check those side adjusters. is there no torque spec for that and what about over tightening? after all its bearing preload. unless im mistaken is it not the same as a wheel bearing?

Similar idea but the nature of the pinion and ring is to push apart under heavy loading causing deflection so any play in the carrier bearings will be amplified. If the pinion had play it would try to pull into the ring under load and push away while coasting causing some binding between the two gears which may explain your funny gear wear/breakage.... I dunno for sure

I set up a 8" reverse the other day and tightened the adjusters (neverseize on the adjusters) down to 100 ft/pounds. The pinion preload increased by 8 in/lbs.
Here's a pretty good article on the subject http://www.gearinstalls.com/cbpl.htm
