Thanks in advance.
AE Ball diffs are simple to set. Tighten the diff bolt down until its tight. (no gorrilla torq!!) Back it off 1/8 turn. Run the diff in the car and re-set after it seats in.

You do not want the diff to slip so you dont really adjust it so to speak. The ball diff delivers power to both wheels. The gear diff "diffs out" when cornering hard.
