Everything is put together right on the ball diff itself I had a experienced guy help me make sure I built it right. This is a new hobby for me and I love it, but stumped at what I am doing wrong.

How much does it move? few thousandths or 1/8 inch, give us a better idea.

That's a lot but you figured that out already. I have no idea how it could move that much IF you have all the right parts. Check the manual and start over?

BTW, thanks for serving

Ya I have checked the manual multiple times. First time I didn't realize it needed different bearings. So the only parts I have bought were the ball diff kit and the new bearings. I wasn't sure if it required a different tranny case or some type of spacer. And thank you for your support.

And the 22 inst just longer its skinnier as well. I think somebody needs to fab up a homemade chassis similar to the 22's if they want to see what it does for a B4.1. IMO the 22 looks like its been hit with an ugly stick. I've always owned AE (besides a mini - t

), and dont plan on switching the theme up. The B5 will be better anyways

Bearings and ball diff are new I used the tranny case that was already on my b4.1 although I think I did buy the b4 diff not the b4.1 diff I didn't realize there would be a difference.
