Green axle bearings 8.75 diff - 04/11/10 09:20 AM
My 70 Charger has a cut down C body 8.75 '489 case with 4.10 gears and a Dana powr Lock clutch type diff. The Moser axles had extra long splined area, and were cut down to fit the housing, which is 2" narrower than stock 68-70 B body width. No problems with this setup, but it had me wondering...
I read somewhere that the diff center pin thrust button should be removed when using non adjustable axle bearings? True? My diff has the thrust button and I have had no problems with this 3rd member in 8 years of classic car use. Maybe I got lucky. I am ready to begin another project and would like to know any pitfalls, since the car will be restored and sold online. I dont want the next owner to have a failure if he decides to have fun with the car.
