Differential Installation Question

[VE1994]

Hi Guys !

Im upgrading from 3.08's to 3.91lsd

To do this its all the bolts from the cv's, the two that you have to drop the cradle to get to, and the other
4 at the back of the diff, also the triangle @ the tail shaft right...?

A mate just told me you have to set the diff cause im upgrading like its going to be out of balance and stuff up
the gears and my car will vibrate alot, he said by turning it or something

Anyone know anything about this? Or is this step not needed?

There are 8 bolts in total holding the diff in. Two at the back, and two underneath the rear swaybar.

Sounds like he's talking about the pinion backlash. Yes, you need to get this set, any decent diff shop should be able to do this easily.

Don't forget to get your speedo recalibrated as well........
