For the bearings, the oem bearings can be re-used, as long as you are careful when removing them and they are in good condition.
For the shims, these are the one that we use:
The oem shim on the top (i.e the snap ring) ranges from 3.8mm to 4.3mm thick. As it is impossible to purchase these new, you either have to use the thicker shim and grind it down to size or, you do what most diff specialists do, and make up smaller shims (the shim on the bottom. 0.05-0.1mm thick) that fit under the bearing races. This allows you to move the diff around slightly to adjust the backlash.
Recognising the difficulty in finding these shims, we are currently having a large batch of them made up. We should have these ready to go sometime in January, and all LSD's sold will have a shim kit included (2 x 3.8mm snap rings + a few race shims) |
Looking to purchase shim kit for MF-TRS-05E46A install
for a 2008 E92 BMW
Cant seem to locate this kit or seals and bearings, drive shaft seal or axel seals on your website
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
