Centre Bearing Replacement

[Ralph Wiggum]

They are the balancing weights dude......

That'll be it...

Everything needs to go back into the same spot, and sometimes there is washers between the body and centre bearing mount

When I replaced my Centre bearing I spoke to Gibson's drive shafts and he said apply a stiff drying selastic like sikaflex to the voids in the Centre bush to stiffen it up. It definitely worked but I had a huge vibration. Played with spacing the bearing ho and down but to no effect. Soon as I removed the sika it went away

That is very strange, my centre bearing is full of some hard goo, and it's all good

This thread is starting to make me look like a bit of a goose!

I initially thought they were weights when I was marking it all up before pulling it apart. When I popped them off though they were so light that I couldn't imagine them doing much. They were also overlapping onto the same bolt which is why I spaced one of them across. Is that normal to come for them to overlap? I have a photo but tapacrap won't let me upload it.

Everything on the diff side is exactly how it was before I pulled it apart. The metal washers are in the same spot and I even put the bolts in their original holes. I tightened them up in a criss-cross pattern like wheel nuts.

Quite common for the wieghts two overlap all three of mine are spread across 3 bolts.

That's not a bad thing as it will make it easier to put them back on correct.

You know what you need to do now don't you...?

[Phoon508]

Uhhh turn up the radio and put my money towards a gtx?...

[Ralph Wiggum]

Ummmm you could do that.... Or start playing with 3 different positions and 9 different wieght configurations.

[Phoon508]

I know which one sounds more fun..

So you think it's worth playing with the positions even though I put them back in the same spot now?

Also you said yours has three weights. Mine only has two.
