**** April Fools! Train ****

Hmmm.....have you tried an auto parts store? Maybe even the dealership - but the price would be outrageous there, I'd expect. Maybe a junk yard? Could even pick up a used 10 bolt cheap and scab them off it.

Haven't really looked into them yet.

bah... just bolt them on a go... they aren't a problem...

what?

[Spaz]

I've been great!! Just incredibly busy with school. I randomly logged in last night.. and it said I hadn't been in here since December.. Time flies?

How are you??

i'm doing awesome sauce... the older you get the faster time goes by...

Ugh. So true.

How does that solve my problem that I have to send them in to strange?

Also, I thought the backing plates are pressed in, or at least something is pressed in to hold them.


I know that strange won't warranty the axles if you don't send them in and choose to install it yourself.

'ello.

midget!

nah... there are 4 bolts that keep the plates on... they jsut slide on and bolt up... that sucks about the install... just a way for them to make more money for super easy work...

They don't charge anything extra when you send them in.

I know on the 9", you need to press the axle bearings on the axles after installing the backing plates. Still not that hard to do.....but if they won't warranty it, I'd send mine in too.

yeah... they are easy to pop off...

pop your pumpkin over... get stank ass gear fluid on your self... loosen the tiny bolt in the center of the differential to remove the pin so the shims come out... push your axle in (with 4 chan abs you'll need to take off the sensor bolt so the axles move in) and remove the c-clips (don't drop them inside the posi unit!!!)... take axle out and take off 4 bolts holding the backing plates...

Good information, but I can't send mine in. I need my car for work, so I need to find an extra set of them

Hmmm, I never needed to take the abs sensor bolt out.....wonder if the tru-trac setup is different? Hmmm.....

[Aetos]

To get a new set from strange installed is, I believe, around 370ish(I know its in the 300s)


edit again:

Optional 98-02 Mounts & Plates (You can supply Your mounts and plates and Strange will install at no charge).......$363.00

I have an extra 9 inch laying around. Are they incrediably hard to fabricate for the trans am? Granted this is one with higher gears in it that I didn't want to use on the 65.

[Kjz99z28]

Alternator went out on me.

It's getting to that awesome age where things start to just kinda go.. I'm about to hit 140,000 miles.

Last month it was the water pump.

Before that was my lock switches.

And my door speaker.

And my window.

My car needs to knock it off.

Only thing that would really be reusable is the third member.

yeah... damned thing stopped the axles from going in far enough to get the c-clip...
