lol, most everyone puts the hex side on the passenger side. There is a debate as to if it matters or not.

A guy at my track told me if you have it in backwards it will back out.He has been in it for 10+ years I believe.

People debate it. I have it on the same side as the slipper. Makes it easy to adjust yhe slipper and diff and only take off one turn buckle. I have run it both eays and never had is come apart in 20 years. Lol

where did you see it in the manual? I just looked in my SC10 manual, and my B4.1/t4.1 manual and none of the 3 say or show, which side it goes on.

FWIW, I've ran it both ways, and havent seen any loosening or tightening of the diff depending on which side I ran the bolt.

and in my mind...if the possibility was there for it to get loose by running the bolt on 1 side vs other...then it would also be possible for it to get tight by running it on the other side. But because the screw is actually under spring tension, I see NEITHER scenario unfolding. IMO it doesn't matter what side the screw head is on. But i'm a newb so take it how you want lol

Factory Team Manual Page 8 section C4 it has a line pointing to diff inside blown up tranny housing saying diff screw on this side.

This is from the online manual and it does not say it but in mine it is pointing to the outdrive on the left saying that it is where the screw is. Which is same side as slipper.

thanks guy. i thought i was going crazy because i couldnt find it either. I was under the same impression that it would go on the same side as the slipper. i get about 7 runs and snap. ill try the other way and see if that will help. If not ill try a b fast diff or something

I should have just done this the first time to help everyone understand. Here is what my manual looks like. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Inline electronics placement. Still have to track test it,but according to the
scale it carries close to the same weight front to rear and left to right as the
old setup.

I would assume he is snapping the thrust bolt. But I don't know.

Hey guys I'm looking for a little more rear side bite especially when trying to get back on the throttle in the middle and towards the exit of the corner. I realize any suggestions you offer are guidelines only and depend on my individual set up. But generally speaking could it help to lean the rear shocks over a little? Currently they are inside hole on tower and inside on arm. Also the rear camber link is inside on the brace and on the b hole at the hub. I added 2 ball stud washers to the inside rear camber link already (previously was running with no washers) but haven't been to the track yet to test it out. I'm running the 0* hubs and have 3.0 inboard toe.

Thanks!
