Everything needs to go back into the same spot, and sometimes there is washers between the body and centre bearing mount Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90417-centre-bearing-replacement/page/2/#findComment-1541987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 8m 27d Posted 28/04/15 10:15 AM Share Posted 28/04/15 10:15 AM When I replaced my Centre bearing I spoke to Gibson's drive shafts and he said apply a stiff drying selastic like sikaflex to the voids in the Centre bush to stiffen it up. It definitely worked but I had a huge vibration. Played with spacing the bearing ho and down but to no effect. Soon as I removed the sika it went away Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/90417-centre-bearing-replacement/page/2/#findComment-1542003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I popped them off though they were so light that I couldn't imagine them doing much. They were also overlapping onto the same bolt which is why I spaced one of them across. Is that normal to come for them to overlap? I have a photo but tapacrap won't let me upload it. Everything on the diff side is exactly how it was before I pulled it apart. The metal washers are in the same spot and I even put the bolts in their original holes. I tightened them up in a criss-cross pattern like wheel nuts.

That's not a bad thing as it will make it easier to put them back on correct. You know what you need to do now don't you...?

Phoon508 Member 188 Member For: 12y 4m 8d Posted 28/04/15 11:48 AM Author Share Posted 28/04/15 11:48 AM I know which one sounds more fun..So you think it's worth playing with the positions even though I put them back in the same spot now? Also you said yours has three weights. Mine only has two.
