Background Informaon

The dierenal case is the round housing inside the rear

axle assembly to which the ring gear is bolted and which contains

the dierenal spider and side gear assembly. It is installed in the

dierenal carrier, which is the housing that holds the case, drive

pinion gear, bearings, etc. The carrier may be removable (as part

of a “drop-out” unit, or third member), or it may be integral (as

a permanent part of the axle assembly, mounted in the vehicle).

This manual covers the integral carrier design, both C-Clip and

non-C-Clip versions.

The LOCK-RIGHT is designed to t into standard open

dierenal cases only, not into limited-slip (clutch-pack) type

cases. If your vehicle contains a limited-slip unit you will need to

purchase a standard open dierenal case, thrust washers and

pinion sha before proceeding.

A word about axle sha thrust blocks: A few dieren-

als, such as the Jeep® AMC-20 and the older 19-tooth Spicer®

44 axle, use a thrust block between the inside ends of the axle

shas as a part of the end play adjustment. When installing a

LOCK-RIGHT, this block is re-used along with the original axles

so that the original end play adjustment does not change. How-

ever, if the original axles are changed to dierent original-type

axles, the block will connue to be used but the end play must

be re-adjusted (see the shop manual for the procedure). If the

axle is changed to another type that does not need end-play ad-

justment, such as a one-piece design, the thrust block may be

omied. (In the Land Cruiser, the block is never used.)

A word about side gear thrust washers: All dierenals

originally had a thrust washer under each side gear. Thrust wash-

ers are large in diameter and between about 1/32-inch (.031, or

0,76-mm) and 1/16-inch (.062, or 1,52-mm) thick. If either one

or both are missing from the original dierenal, obtain new

one(s) before proceeding!
