I have seen those.

My friend had a Manthey racing gt3 rose jointed and they told him that he must not oil them, they were noisey as hell! I guess it depends on the type of joint?

Is the Supra diff as good as the Jag one for strength and the amount of lock up on the LSD ?


Best place to find a 3.54:1 Supra diff ?


Edit to add, Anyone know the max wheel, tyre width you can run with a 6 deg beam without body mods ?


Anyone want to buy a Jag 3.54 ?

Best place to find a 3.54:1 Supra diff ? i think the nearest is 3.7


Edit to add, Anyone know the max wheel, tyre width you can run with a 6 deg beam without body mods ? it will be the same as a standard beam


Anyone want to buy a Jag 3.54 ?
i just think its easier with the supra as its bolt in no shaft mods or having custom ones

But surely when you inject new greese it would push the old paste out the way, and im sure grit will still get in a dry joint

Good point, I guess we would need to ask the relevant manufacturers. I have def seen some where it says "do not grease" as they are a self consuming part.

I think the ones we use are lined so not metal to metal so do not need greasing ,the ones without Teflon lining are designed to be greased I think lol
