hey guys. i received an obx lsd in the mail recently and just as i was about to get the thing in i noticed something strange. Around the perimeter of the differential, there are 5 pairs of hexagonal screws for an allen wrench. But, it appears as if one of the bolts has had the head completely sheared off and the other bolt is just missing entirely. The empty hole is circled in red and the sheared bolt is cirlced in blue. Has anyone seen this before? Did i get a defective lsd?

<-- i sure hope this works

 

Is that new?!?!

PM earl or GearSpeedEF9

 

yikes

its not supposed to be like that

 

send it back

 

This is what you get for purchasing an OBX LSD.

 

I would definately return that. If you can't return it, take out one of the good allen bolts, find 2 that size and replace that broken one and the missing one. You should be able to take that broken one out with an EZ-out considering there is no head. Was the diff supposed to be brand new?

Hell, they carry a lifetime warrenty. If it breaks send it back. BTW, the OBX LSD is a clone of the quaife. It just needs to be inspected before installing. Do a search, Earl disected one of these awhile back and concluded that the design is identical.

I could care less. OBX=junk. That is all there is to it.

One more thing, just because it’s a “clone” does not make it equal to a Quafie. It would have to be held to the exact same standards and tolerances and also be made by the exact same manufactures to be = to a Quafie. If that is the case then great but OBX will always = junk in my book.

BTW, I’m in a bad mood because I have been sick for days. So just ignore me.
