If you have plenty of rear grip you could reduce rear toe to 2deg etc that will definietly help with turn in.
1.15mm front shims at wishbone.

hi guys can any tell me what other parts or work that can make the ball diff last in mod more then two runs the xray diff seem to not last as long between rebuilds.im not a newbie there must be something im missing

its hard to make the diffs last with full on modified power. i know that Paul L. rebuilds diffs every four runs. additionally, he replaces the thrust bearings about 7 times more frequently than the rings and balls. i've been mostly running 13.5T indoors - which has some wear on thrusts as compared to 17.5T. i'd just suggest you get a ton of thrust bearings - try different brands - you might have more luck w/ other types. i've been using some from mcmaster with good success.

i use ceramic balls and schumacher grease and my diff has had about 20 runs in mod with a 4.5 and it still feels like butter. also make sure its not slipping, as this will make it go bad after one run.

Thanks guys
Chris, its just weird in the picture. I was looking at that thinking the same thing, and went and double checked my car and its not there lol. It was dark in my house and I had to bump the brightness up, so I think thats what made it do that
Out of curiosity how many of you guys run the stock plastic out drives? Mine seem fine so far with a 4.5. But I havent ran it a ton so far

You have not mentioned roll centers........... These are very important so is the wheelbase! Use low roll center blocks in the front and make the top link as long and as flat as you can get it and as flat as possible.
On the rear try high roll center and angle the upper arm with a 1 or 2 mm. shim under it on the rear hub. Droop also effects steering , more chassis lift in the rear off power will give more steering entering a corner.....

The plastic ones are heavier than the aluminium ones with blades

The problem with the diff is all in the grease you use. You need to use a thicker grease as anything thin will just "spit" out. If you rebyuild a diff and only in one run it is dry, check the inside of your dust covers and the outside of your pulley. All the grease should be there. Try and use something thick like schumacher or Corally grease.
The plastic spool outdrives are awesome. They last quite a while. if you get worried, put a tiny bit of black grease on the pins. Most prefer tham over the aluminium ones. Besides there not black The plastic ones are heavier than the aluminium ones with blades.
