Does it actually stay in place in the ball diff?
Jim, I've tried the stuff and it will give you a tighter diff than antiwear grease. However, after a day or two running, the diff action loosened quite a bit. Overall, there wasn't enough of an advantage, if any, in performance to justify it's use except for certain track types or conditions.
These were the main negatives. Needed a rebuild very soon to maintain the tight diff action. The stuff is just nasty to clean off for the rebuild.
I'm not saying the stuff is so bad that no one should try it. It's just not the panacea for building the diff. My initial impression was positive, but went in the toilet after trying to clean the diff up to rebuild. It may be worth a try for some .
