Putty?

You know you can't get away with that! We need more info. What kind of putty and how much?

I am very much in agreement with the rest of your set up tips. Very good info. Thanks:)

Setup sheet says he used a 21 tooth pinion. I don't have my car in front of me but I though 20 was the biggest you could use.

The shocks that come with the pro are crap. I like the plastic rear uprights better than the shiny blue ones because they have more toe in. Bearings are cheap and most folks have a speed...

Can anyone tell me what shocks come with kit number 58465? That's the Fiat Abarth 1000. Tower lists them as plastic oil filled. If thats the case, are they CVA super mini or the clear ones?

I don't fill the diff housing with AW grease. Just a little on the gears and a little on the shims. No leaks. No mess. Just a very smooth yet limited slip diff.
