To those that have installed an LSD: Install quesitions

Eric@AMS · 07-01-2009, 03:34 PM

So we are putting in our OS Giken LSD in the coming week and we have the full seal kit to replace but no bearings. A member from Belgium had posted up some numbers but they don't seem to cross reference to anything:

7518219
F-237543
143 06

Quesion is for those that have installed an LSD in the car are you reusing the OEM carriage bearing? or are you sourcing new ones. If you are sourcing new ones please let me know where so we can pick up a set.

Thank you!

when i had my Quaife installed about 2.5 years ago they reused the bearings since there was no option at the time.

+1, reused bearings. The shims are the bitch, make sure you have a full set of sizes.

I reused the bearings with no issues. The seals definately need to be replaced (they got too mishapen during removal, even on the one that was taken out perfectly) but the bearing had absolutely no problems being reused. Getting the shims correct though takes a little more effort.
