Does add a leaf allow you to carry more weight in the bed or trailer? Is it a firmer ride? Thanks!
I’m shocked that non of mechanics in 13 shops know how to fix the slip differential. My 3 different cars have a huge problem when going and rear end whips around like being on ice Even dodge dealers have no idea Please help me
Will block work in the back of 1999 s10 zr2 4x4. I would like 1 inch block
Nothing about this showed what each pattern meant
Did you run into any abs issues or cruise control/ traction control issues?
So, with 18% gear difference.. if you are reading mpg in the dash without correcting the speedometer odometer, your mpgs and odometer will also be off by 18%

Hi, loved your vids, and ive put mine together in the same way. What i have not seen and want to make sure i do correctly, is confirming the carrier bearing preload. Do you have a video on that? Thanks
Which is better the block or add leaf?
I didnt see you torque the pinion nut. Is that supposed to be 250 lbs ?
Is this a high performance rear end? I cant see any shop doing this for a daily driver non performance vehicle. Your attention to detail is spectacular.
Question: My 9" housing, where the pilot bearing seats, has no groove in it to hold the retainer ring. Every time I go to set it in place, it pops back off. What am I supposed to do?
does backlash move your pattern from toe to heal and vise versa
1995 camaro what spindle will give it a 3 inch lift
Excellent
I’ve seen many 8.8 videos say that you must use the crush washer for preload of the pinion. Why do you believe that isn’t need until final assembly?
Very thorough thank you
Great video but please stop with the terrible sound track. We came to learn about the rear end and the dumb music was a huge distraction.
I have a question got a 2011 cvpi looking to swap gears it got a 327 it's my daily driver I do alot of city and interstate driving whats a good gear to go with 373,390 I know 410s is too high for interstate
Great stuff on install but you didn't address why a add a leaf over a block. Looking at doing a 6 inch lift on my 2007 Silverado 1500. I still dont get if a block should be used with add a leaf or not. I thought and the video made it sound like if you add the one leaf addition you dont use the block. The video made it sound like one or the other, but at 6:56 you can see the "add a leaf" sitting on a block. Right after that at 7:04 we see just the "add a leaf" sitting on the axle with no block. So why the discrepancy of block/no block with add a leaf and how does a single leaf makeup for several inches of lift a block would provide. Totally lost on all these points.
you don't need longer U bolts when there is 3" of them past the nut
The only thing that went wrong here is that ford.
Hi, i got a mag Crwon wherl set, only on pinion are markings of 0,0 and a second 0,22. what measure do i have to check?
The zeros may be a reference to adjustment from the manufacturers nominal pinion depth. There are articles and charts to use for pinion shimming adjustment based off of the old and new gear sets, but the most basic principal is that a zero marked gear, should use the same pinion shim when replacing a zero marked gear. There can also be markings for recommended backlash and batch numbers used when manufacturing and packaging gearsets (to make sure same batch ring gears and pinion gears are matched up and boxed together.
Really well done guys, thanks. i thought my pattern was ok but now i know the pinion depth is wrong, you saved me a lot of frustration.
Real good, let us know how it works out!
@@rearwheelperformance got the pinion depth set, pattern is centered up/down but only a small contact patch on toe drive side and heel coast side.
@@halleffect1 Sorry missed this. You can adjust backlash within spec to try to move it. Sounds like you were at min backlash spec and likely shimming for a bit more backlash may have helped. Tell us how it all ended up!
@@rearwheelperformance thanks for that. backlash is at 0.010. I thinned out the paint with gear oil and got a better pattern, contact along most of the gear, not just the toe/heel. so it was right all along but i couldn't see it. confirmed it was fixed with test drive and no more howling.
@@halleffect1 Glad to hear!
We have to get an alignment done after this, right?
If you are working on rear lift components it is usually not necessary, but it can't do any harm to have it checked. For front components any modifications or changes, it is recommended to have an alignment.
Great video! Thank you! music gets pretty monotonous
Nice, thanks! We only had the choice of polarizing monotonous random sounds and dead silence, welcome to the RUclips.
Awesome...nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
why do people say it is bad to leveling kits? I have a truck and every shop is trying to sell me a suspension set which cost $1600 and I don't ride off road... mine is just a 4x2. so should I just do a leveling kit>?
Leveling kits and spacer kits biggest drawback is the reduction of suspension dropout travel. The control arms are set to a different ride height angles than they were engineered for, which can also effect ride and handling, even on the street. Depending on the make and model, upper and/or lower ball joint wear and failure can also be increased. A couple of inches usually is ok, but many 3"+ spacers can be brutal in the short and long run.
@@rearwheelperformance Thank you for you reply. I am thinking around 1.5" to 2" max spacers. not going to do anything more than 2".
I rebuilt my rear end a grassy field in a campground. This was my 2nd attempt at it. I used this video repeatedly for the important info to finally get a good pattern. I think I actually got it all correct this time. Thanks!
Wow, very good. We had planned on doing a ground level build axle assembly using as much common basic hand tools as possible, but circumstance has never given us the time to do something like that properly. Glad it helped, enjoy!
So i have spacer lift kit on my truck and i see the upper control arm is outta wack can i get a spindle and install it and that would fix the upper control arm being so outta wack right?
If the spacer is causing the issues, then yes, removing the lift spacers, repairing or replacing the control arms and installing a spindle lift should help.
@@rearwheelperformance but i can leave the strut spacer in and use one of yalls spindle and itll correct the angle on the ball joint in the uca?!
@@512juancho Sorry no, the suspension travel and geometry are the same at the connection to the control arms. Problems using a strut spacer lift with stock spindles will be the same or a bit worse on lifted spindles.
@@rearwheelperformance so my best option is either a upgraded aftermarket UCA or remove the strut spacer and use a lift spindle right?
@@512juancho Yes, both will likely solve your mechanical issues, but the spindle solution will also restore the ride and handling back to near stock feeling.
Like @joecurry7864, I've viewed a LOT of videos and your video is far superior to all of the others. Thanks for the content.
Thank you very much!
I would check the pattern after everything is torqued.. Seemed that was missing in the instructions.
good
What keeps the crush sleeve from crushing more when you torque the nut the finial time
Torque the pinion nut in increasingly smaller steps, checking frequently, when the bearing preload (rotational drag) is getting close to specifications. Stop adding additional pinion nut torque once the bearing preload (drag) is anywhere within the specification range.
First of all your not measuring torque ,your are measuring preload ,On a 12 bolt GM you need some where between 400 and 600 ftlbs to start crushing the collar , you have to 'creep' up to the desired preload ,which is measured in Inch-Lbs usually 10 to 15 in-lbs of preload . Ive built over 500 12 bolts and the only impact that seems powerful enough to crush the 12 bolt is the M-18 Milwaukee , the M-18 is the best battery powered impact to use ,don't waste you money on other name brands that I won't mention ,8.5 GM and 9 in and 8.8 Ford crush fairly easy ,12 bolt and corvette 65-79 are tough to crush , have recently run into some aftermarket crush collars that refuse to crush , stick with OEM or Rateck
Do you recommend rear shackles?
Good for retaining ride quality and usually the easiest option to install, but generally not the best option for handling in our opinion.
@@rearwheelperformance ok. Are spindles easy to install if I have a lift and tools and some car experience
@@Graham_A That's the perfect background for spindle work. Every suspension tech has their favorite mini-sledgehammer to break free the ball joint and tie rod tapers. Other than the hammer and technique doing that, the rest is just bolt on.
you guys rock
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man. 🎳 Thanks!
How Hard Is It To Rebuild A Ford F150 Differential? ruclips.net/video/wx29zybk51k/видео.html
Assuming it is an 8.8, 9.765 or Super 8.8 rear, it is about the same installation procedures as most other common c-clip style axle assemblies from the last 50 or so years. Tools and experience are relative to the installers perception of level of difficulty.
Great video. Looking at adding a leaf for my 2013 Nissan Titan. If you add them in the back do you have to add anything in the front or change shocks out?
There is usually enough dropout travel to use the existing rear shocks, but adding a slightly longer shock rated for 1-2" of rear lift can be added if necessary.
I watched a 100 videos on JK D44 regearing and this is good and to the point video. Every single video always shows the perfect center placement (heel to toe) and it would be nice if someone would cover a good face pattern, but explain/show why the pattern moves the way they do from heel to toe and how to get it centered (is it possible or even needed? I read it don't matter). I just did my D44 with 4.88s and I had to do 6 different pinion depth set ups each with probably 3 backlash adj. My final back lash was .008" and my first pattern was dead center of the face, Heel to Toe, but the pattern was just too shallow as it was rolling off the top. My subsequent and final 6th pinion depth adjustments brought the pattern more center (Face & root) but it also made the drive pattern go towards the toe. The Coast pattern stayed more center of the face but toward the heel. It was my 3rd regear ever, and the other 2 have been good for years.. gotta start someplace.
One can reference a hundred different bit of advise and pattern guides, but more importantly, persistence and patience provides the best results (as you did). Good to hear, and enjoy!
Great tips!
Glad you like them!
How to compensate housing deflections with BGS setting in order to have a worth contact pattern ? Anybody has experience with this?
Can you elaborate on this? What is your experience with this issue?
thanks. Great tips. Bought one. Please make more videos. I would listen to that woman describe anything.
Thanks man; we're glad you found the video useful. Our team hopes to have the time to make more videos soon.
I have a wolseley 1500 or morris minor diff broken off a pinion gear tooth diff still working do I need to replace crown and pinion wheel as a set and what is the correct t pattern on the crown gear?
We can't understand the question, but feel free to call us and we can get a better idea of how to assist.
I added 2 leafs to each side if my nissan frontier and it is anazing hiw well it lifted and supirted the truck
Trucks and suvs from about the late 80s+ have had their rear spring rates and shock dampening increasingly reduced for the sake of passenger ride comfort. Raising the rear spring rate along with well matched shocks are a game changer in handling/performance.
Ading a leaf is way better option makes your truck more capable of supporting payload. Ideally is to add a big leaf not a shirt one. A leaf that is just bit shirter than the top leaf. You can also add arc to these leafs which might be good if you want more than 1 or 2 inch lift. 3 to 4 inch lift requires longer shocks and also ading more arc to all leafs
Very well said!
