I have a stock GSR diff with tapered roller bearings. I was seeing if I can saftly swap the tapered bearings to the LSD I have

Also if that doesnt work, the LSD came with the bearings that we all are use to.. dont know what the name is, but is there a way to convert the housing for these to fit is the top question wont work?

 

You can use tapered roller bearings, but you need special tools to set the preload on them, it's much easier to just use the enclosed ball bearings instead.

 

Is there a way to convert my housing to the support the ballbearing instead? because tapered was used on stock

 

No conversion necessary, just use enclosed ball bearings, the cases are the same, simply knock the races out of the housing.

 

okay yeah i found a good write up before I saw your reply. Thanks a lot. how do I shim though? when is shimming necessary?
