You're welcome

Depends really on what diffs I'm running in the car. If I'm using a spool/direct coupling/one-way in the front I don't use any of the the foam spacers in the drive cups. With ball diffs I will sometimes use them to help keep some of the dirt from getting to the thrust bearing. Also if you can get the right size o-ring can work too. The hole of the o-ring will slip over the head of the diff adjusting bolt, allowing the o-ring to sit further down into the diff half. Then the o-ring will seal against the inner bore of the diff half, the top of the thrust bearing, and allow you to still make diff adjustments. Hope that makes sense
