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

This thread is starting to make me look like a bit of a goose!

I initially thought they were weights when I was marking it all up before pulling it apart. 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.

Quite common for the wieghts two overlap all three of mine are spread across 3 bolts.

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...?
