LS1240Z Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 For some reason I cant figure out why this diff is leaning toward my passenger side.I have to mustache bar bolded on right and now I want to make a mounting bracket for the front of the diff but trying to figure out why it's not straight first.If you look at the picture from the side....it looks like the diff sits to far forward like aroung a few inchestoo...But not sure.The tranny is straight as you can see.Please give what ever advise you may have.I can use all the help I can get.Thanks <a href="http://ImageDeposit.com"></a> <a href="http://ImageDeposit.com"></a> <a href="http://ImageDeposit.com"></a> <a href="http://ImageDeposit.com"></a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 If you need to see how a r230 front mount is done, I am in Concord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I may be misunderstanding your question, but I think you're seeing the pinion centerline as being offset toward the passenger side (because the ring gear is offset toward the drivers side), which is common with all the differentials, and allows the two halfshafts to be equal length (or almost equal). The rear cover may be centered, but the pinion centerline will not. BTW, I cannot open your pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 From what I can tell by the pictures, it all appears normal. Here is my R200 from the front, and this still requires the passenger side shaft to be about 1/2" longer than the drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mas28O Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Your diff is too far over. I will give you a call 9:30am so you can take a look at mine. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
