It must have happened when I tweaked the front of my chassis.
Has anyone tried using a little longer screw going from the top plate to the front diff? It's holding "OK" for now but once I start jumping it may not be enough. There seems to be very few threads going into the front diff when the spacer is in there, even when everything is perfect.
I will replace the diff case when I have time but I am wondering if longer screws might work as a temporary fix to get me through the weekend.
Don't use longer screws as they will penetrate the diff case more and leave plastic chunks inside the diff case. Spend the $9 and get the diff case before you go adding bind and possibly blowing out your motor.
