My differential has to come apart, again, in the near future. I need a little help identifying the correct parts. I already have the side bearings but if anyone has the seal part numbers please post them up. I want to buy an assortment of adjustment shims beforehand too. What are they called exactly? I want to have the parts in my hands before digging in. Yes, it's singing and getting worse. The plan is to pull the cover, use some machinist dye to check the pattern on the ring and pinion, and fix the sucker for good. So, what are those shims called so I buy the right parts. Thanks for the help. Oh, back to the dyno tomorrow to check the latest tune. Next ...... well, it's better to do it and tell afterwards.

dont you have a wavetrac les? send the diff back to the installer it should be under warrenty

 

The standard components should be here.

 

That schematic with the part numbers is a tremendous help. Thanks for pulling it out for me. The shop that did the instal will take care of me but they don't want to get it apart and have my car stranded on the lift for 2 weeks waiting for parts. When the Wavetrac was installed the bearings were questionable because the differential was real low on fluid. They need to be replaced and I have them already. Not the shops fault. If the side clearance is off, and it seems to be, they'll respond for the mistake. This is the first time this problem has come up for them with a LSD instal. Or it could be the Wavetrac thats defective. All the explanations and suppositions aside, it has to be checked and the noises eliminated and I and the shop prefer to have the parts we suspect we need on hand.
