I just purchased a used 489 case 8 3/4 Sure Grip unit; how can I tell if the thrust buttons are in it? Thanks. DC

Can you see all the way through the unit? (where the axle shafts go)

No, I cannot see all the way through it. I can see what appears to be two shiny discs with a circular wear pattern in the centers. DC

Thanks for your help. You know, all these years I've spent knocking around Mopars, I'd never looked into the axle well area of a Sure Grip 8 3/4. DC

If the 489 has its original cone-type Sure-Grip there are no individual thrust buttons...there is a one-piece thrust block.
