E53 4.8is Front Diff Preload Setting
Hiya's,
No good telling you all of my tales of woe .......... I fubared and hit my passenger side diff case (USA etc Drivers side) where drive shaft goes in the seal, i have lost so much hearing i didn't hear shaft pop out and clouted her again, of cause i put a small crack in the cast case as the pry bar had nowhere else to go except inwards into case lol I have all the tooling to add a new diff i got, i have a rebuild kit and all seals etc for the swap Thing is, i've been searching over a week without success for the crush sleeve preload I've found the spec for the rear diff but not the front At worst i thought checking preload on replacement diff before i strip but actual preload figure/s be great Going doolally searching the net lol Any help/specs be greatly appreciated Cheers Tony Last edited by Defiance_co; 10-13-2020 at 12:29 PM.

Preload spec is for new pinion brgs. so trying to measure before taking it apart would probably give you a really low reading. I don't think you could go wrong using the spec for the rear diff though assuming you are using new bearings?

Hiya,
Yeah the kit is all new bearings/races outer seals (got o-rings and diff to block seal and odds n sods from bmw) Will set to work stripping the new-to-me diff tomorrow I will go with the rear spec for my new bearing type unless i get any info beforehand Just waiting on engine brace to get delivered, typically i dumped a barely used engine crane due to lack of storage space lol Thanks for the reply :-) Have Fun Tony

Hiya,
I've yet to strip her down tell you the truth, life events overtook my plans somewhat lol, did sort the oil loss via a new seal though for a good temp fix We go on lockdown nation wide thursday looks like so will crack on then The Bearing Kit i got from racingdiffs.com They're based in Belgrade in Serbia Mega fast delivery to the UK for mine, Koyo bearings so i'm happy I will post back once i've stripped/rebuilt the diff Take Care Have Fun Tony
