chris556452 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Ok, so I've got an 06 350z base model with an open diff. I'm thinking of getting a quaife atb unit, from what I've read they're the most durable and reliable units you can get. I called slowboy racing and they quoted me 1399.00 out the door including overnight shipping (not too bad compared to other places). Question is, should I get new carrier bearings and ring gear bolts or just try to re-use the ones I've got? I dont know if the bolts are torque to yield or not, and how easy/hard it would be to salvage the old bearings. Also, has anyone else done this install and have a few pointers/tips to give out? Any help would be great Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You probalby don't need to replace any of the bearings in the diff and no bolt on the planet should ever be torqued to yield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardBlack Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 From the original post: Yeah, I caught that part, but it seemed like you were saying 'there is no such thing as TTY', or something along those lines. To the OP, you might try giving a good Nissan dealer a ring. They might give ya the spec for the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
