o my quaife diff went in and the dealership botched the install..

heres the letter i got from Kevin Bird about what they found..


We have stripped your differential and inspected it.
We believe that the bearings have been damaged during dissassembly. It seems that the installer used Fox Wedges or similar to part the bearings from the old differential, as there are visible marks on the old differential. Although it is not entirely clear how such damage could be caused by using this technique, the consequence is that the bearing on one side has overheated. This indicates that something was damaged or some foreign material got into the bearing at some point.

We also noticed that the pinion nut has been used to support the removal of the prop. shaft nut. It is not the correct procedure, and can cause the pinion bearings to become incorrectly loaded. We will examine the position further once we have decided what the repair should be.

We will try to find replacement bearings, but I have to tell you that last time we looked, we couldn't find a supplier!

The alternative would be to supply a complete final drive, which costs £1,014 in the UK.

Sorry this is bad news, but at least the problem is identified.

Regards, Kevin Bird."


Can anyone help with where i could get these bearings???
