When using the Associated lightweight plastic diff halves what size are those diff bearings? Don't want to use those bronze bushings. The bearings from my steel diffs are too thick to work.
We had a long discussion a while ago about this. The reason for the bearings being discontinued was that the diff halves were melting. I cant remember why the bushings were better, it had something to do with the flex of the plastic versus the metal halves or something to that affect. I think you can still find bearings tho but cant remember where. I know not much help but Im old and forgetful.
