Differential roller bearings
Turbo Mini Forums

Do you have to shim any preload with the Minispares roller type diff bearings? And if so how much do they need?

These are the ones i'm on about. http://www.minispares.com/product/Classic/...k%20to%20search

Two of these main diff carrying bearings are required in the gearbox and this new steel caged type fits either way round--The 3/4" width outer track type had a side marked "thrust side" which must face away from the gearbox. These usually shim up at 4 thou pre load as opposed to the very early non thrust type bearings which were 1-2 thou.

It's written rather badly. So i asked to make sure.

So 4 thou for these then?

I know its badly written try 4 thou and see what its like :) i'm not 100% sure though

I won't take that at face value, fit them and measure as it says in the haines book of lies.

Cheers! I will do.
