Rear diff fluid: 5000
Going up to 5000 will it not decrease rear traction?. I always thought 2000 which increases cornering traction.
Can someone explain the benefit of 5000 in the rear?
2.
Don't understand the "Notes" where a 2mm washer under outside ball goes. Explain please.
3.
Droop-Full plus turning out shock boot both in front and rear. RIGHT?
What will this do?
I live an hour from the track. Its a very tight, twisty indoor clay. Almost thinking of 7000 front & middle diffs, 2000 rear. I like to read and plan my adjustment before I go. I just need some clarification on my 3 questions.
1. Depends on your driving style. If you like more on power steering and are on the throttle early in the corner, heavier rear fluid allows you to steer with the rear end. I'm more point and shoot so I run 3k rear.
2. 2mm washers go under the outside steering link where it attaches to the spindle. Changes the bump steer and makes the steering smoother and more consistent.
3. Unscrewing shock ends 2 turns gives more droop, more weight transfer, better on jump landings. Also makes the truck easier to drive.
