Did anyone else find that the rear toe block (3.0) that comes with the cyclone tc is different from side to side.

i built my pro diff set recently and noticed the outdrives and the rings from the old diff do not fit. does the pro diff have a option alloy/steel outdrive set one can buy for it? the plastic version diff outdrives on the pro diff do not have the little adjustment hole to reach the screw head once it is installed which i find a pain.

Well since in the new pro-spec diff the screw goes in on the short side now instead of the lond side as in the old diff, there won't be an adjustment hole like before. And yes there are alumn outdrives for the pro-spec diff.

YES... mine was the same way... I was getting 4 degrees on left rear and 2 degrees on right rear... I posted a comment about it a week ago and received no comment... I'm guessing the block is off center...

just ordered me up som alum blocks for the car. I expect my corner speed to be even faster with equal toe from left to right. Mine rear toe was fine until I broke a ball stud in my right rear hub. Every other block has been off.

how how can you adjust it quickly then? if they designed an L shaped tool to reach the screw head that would be fine, but i don't think they do anything like this, plus i think the cvd sits too far in and there isn't enough room to slip in a tool to get to the screw head....does this mean to access and adjust the diff we need to pop of one of the ballcups?! = increased slop, and a pain int he butt when adjusting in pit lane. it means taking body of and taking a long time

It's a hit and miss situation bro. I never had a toe problem until I switched out the orginal pieces that came with the car. I can't say for sure if I got a bad batch of parts as I purchased them from two different places and one shipment came from TOP which gets their parts straight from hotbodies for their car kits. I could go through every rear hub I have for the car but I'm not that bored so I will just go with the alum for now and call it a day. Maybe next weekend I'll go through all of my rear hubs if the kids don't bother me too much.

I am using the alum rear hub..but still gives me different reading from left to right... me too would like to know what is wrong... I've even changed the inner and outer suspension shaft and the arms but still no luck... Maybe Hotbodies should explain this problem...
