Now I read a lot of post saying that it was best to go over the truck tightening bolts and checking the diff case.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Well both of my diffs were mounted wrong way compare to Axial drawings in their manual.<v:shape style="WIDTH: 11.25pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt" id=_x0000_i1026 alt="0" type="#_x0000_t75"> <v:imagedata o:href="http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\DENISP~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Now I tried to put it the way it was suppose to be. The front with the ring gear on the long side of the axle and the rear on the short side. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Front no problem, rear if I do that it binds the ring gear on the pinion so bad that it is almost impossible to turn.<v:shape style="WIDTH: 11.25pt; HEIGHT: 11.25pt" id=_x0000_i1027 alt="0" type="#_x0000_t75"> <v:imagedata o:href="http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mad.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\DENISP~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image003.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
It is like the shaft is too long and when I put the axle end cap for the bearing on it pushes it too far in.....<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Any idea or someone had that happen to them. I know change ring gear side for proper motor rotation....<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks for the help.<o:p></o:p>

Id be curious if you took the diff out and installed the axle shafts in it. Measure the end of the axle shaft to the carrier bearing on the diff cup and ring gear. Now swap axle shafts side to side and remeasure then post up some numbers?
