Front Diff Tech 101-401 - Page 2 - SyTy/SGT

If you get the specs and build a solid front spacer I'm sure a lot of people here would need one as well. Wish they put them in from the factory. Setting up preload is a pain. Let me know if you get some made, I'll be in line to buy one.

I have in house capability to make them, just on manual machines so its a bit more time consuming than say having a CNC make them. It requires a selection of shims also as no 2 axles will be the same.

Let me get mine done and tested and see how things work out.

x2....would love to have one for the front diff for atleast peace of mind. The solid spacer really helped my old 7.5 hold up to a lot of abuse in my old camaro. I believe that spacer attributed to that.

Good info.Subscribing...

Please find a limited slip out of something else that will fit in there as well since they don't make one for our trucks.

Anybody got a honda or foreign car laying around, we could measure those carriers and maybe try to retrofit that in there.

^ This is something I've been doing a bit of research on. There has to be a way to do this. If I find anything useful I'll be sure to post it up.

Thanks for posting all the part numbers. I'm right in the middle of rebuilding one and that saved me a lot of time.

The Rubbing isolation bushings are really starting to crack and get hard. I was thinking about making up some delrin replacements. Any opinions about using delrin instead of rubber?

V which one?

I suspect Delrin would be fine, actually I highly suspect it would be fine.

I did not see any eaton's for our 7.2" IFS listed and doubt any major company has plans to release one at this point.

I also learned what I thought was a front diff turned out to be a loose bolt on the rear disc backing plates that worked its way into the parking brake drum area. OOOPS. 10 minute fix but I took 4 hrs of crap apart to find it. The inside of my front diff was spotless.

I have one in my 67 Bronco. Very nice, but you want to make sure it is at or near a standstill before engaging the locker. 100% lock-up.

I guess I should have verified that there was an application for the Sy axle...

It was great to find this. It looks like my differential sprung a naste leak and will need some attention right away. I am guessing the seal went out.

Thanks for the helpful information.

Does anyone by chance have the part number for the drivers side seal retainer? Mine leaks and I'm tired of trying to fix it.
