So tonight my Random Tch Arm broke - it just sheared off the top and bottom plates at the differential, across the forward bolt holes. Pretty good for a street tired V6, eh? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
So I need a replacement, since I threw the stocker out. Anyone have a used one I can take off your hands? Thanks, Jeff |

QUOTE (zlexiss @ Sep 19 2005, 12:37) One last update: Random is selling me just the bracket side for ~$80 (regular price ~$130), shipping out today. Thanks again for all the offers on sending me a stocker. The rep (as well as my friend who welded it) said that any looseness in the bolts may cause the failure, as the bracket torques and stretches the bolt holes. So a warning to all to check and make sure that the bolts are still to torque - I think I'm going to blue loctite mine.. -Jeff I'd put red loctite on them minimum 266 or 271 IIRC. I also torqued the bolts to 110 ft-lbs. If that doesn't work you'll want to wire the bolts. The R/T differential bracket is pretty beefy, I also suspect it was just loose bolts-a common problem. |
