No I really think Bushings are better and the grease of champions is Bacon grease!
Only if you're using the vastly superior NYLON bushings! I've seen the bacon grease incompatability with brass bushings happen all too often.

I guess Strange doesnt put a thrust block in the diff because I measured the axle and from the flange to inside of the splines and the ends of the axle wont be hitting anything in there. All the measurements show that there will be no pre-load. Is this sounding right?
What does the thrust block look like? It is inside the third member? Forgive me but I don't know the internal parts of a diff very well but there is a shaft or rod thing in between the two axle ends directly in the center. If that is the thrust block the axle ends don't touch it anyway.
I re-assembled everything without the 5 hole retainers since the measurements showed clear and I would hate to do this all over again slightly less than I would want to burn up bearings.

Why would you even post that?

What is required to remove this? I assume it is not something you just knock out right?

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I know that losing the thrust block is an option, but there is another thing to consider. This setup leaves the snap-ring against the axle housing flange, but the entry is chamfered. The snap ring would only touch the flange at the extreme outer edge of the ring. I would want to use the old loose plate back there anyway just to give the snap-ring a solid purchase. Trouble is, if you cut a piece out of the old one to get it off teh axle, it can no longer fully support the snap-ring. You would need a new plate, or a new lock ring for when you R+R the bearings to get the plate off w/o damage.
Just a point to ponder.

So where do the flange gaskets go, and which one where? If there is a steel spacer plate in there, does that need an extra gasket? Do you use any at all? The o-ring and seal SHOULD do it, but... ????
