Smoke them tyres Member 557 Member For: 17y 10d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 07/10/12 06:46 AM Share Posted 07/10/12 06:46 AM The cause of failure will be that stupid 5 cent roll pin that all driveline manufacturers have been using for years.The spider gear shaft hammers the hole oval in the carrier, and when it gets elongated enough going backwards and forwards, it breaks the roll pin.The spider gear shaft then wants to exit the carrier, and then all hell breaks loose in there as none of the internal gears are then held by anything.The "open" style carriers I have also never been a fan of....less metal to take the load and avoid distortion....and in such a critical high load area.If they want to continue to use this failure prone method of retention, they should AT LEAST beef up the thickness of the hole in the carrier..........so there is more bearing area, and thus lower the load per unit area.Give me a 9" anyday.Along with rubber suspension bushes, plastic items to do what metal should be doing, and roll pins in ill designed areas, are the stupidest items that all manufacturers continue to use....and will continue to create mechanical havoc in the future.
