I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

Will these work for us?

Or really, are there any bone options for the wide pivot that will allow the use of the MIP diff (aluminum outdrives)? Like maybe these:

Couldn't tell you about puck driveshafts...I don't use pucks.

We are running the 67mm bones combined with the offset rear hub bearing spacers that move the bearings and axle out 1.5mm. The longer bones get the driveshaft back into outdrive in the proper spot. This combination on the laydown car makes the rear end squat real hard under acceleration. Gives more grip under power.
pushing everything 1.5mm out, how does that affect side bite? I run 5mm rear hexes vs the stock ones to narrow the rear of the car which has made the car easier to drive a little more aggressively in and out of the corners.
I have more but have to come back to this.

The way you describe it makes me want to try it, but I got some questions first.

Tech Rookie
I'm sure this has been asked before so sorry but what advantage does removing 2 gears from the diff make?. I have seen quite a few setups that mention 2 gears.
Thank

Where can we pick up the hub bearing spacers?

Only problem is I can not find the BMI spacers. Ive googled everything I could to try to find them and have no idea what they look like or what they do even. Their website is terrible, the online store does not work and their facebook page doesnt seem like its been used in years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, so you have me convinced to try it. I am gonna try it with the MIP axles as I do have pucks in the car now.
