STEP B-11
Screw the right output shaft assembly from STEP B-8 onto the diff shaft
from the opposite side of the main pulley. Make sure that the belleville
washers are compressing, without binding. Tighten until the threads
stop. Back off 1/4 to 1/8 turn in order to get within range of the final
adjustment (made after the model is assembled). Do not tighten and
loosen the diff adjustment any more than necessary to prevent wearing
off the thread locking compound.
STEP B-13
Ball Differential Adjustment: Check the assembled diff for smooth opera-
tion. Now is a good time to study the mechanism so that you will under-
stand how it adjusts after it is installed in the Car. Hold the left output
shaft and rotate the gear until you can see through the hole in the shaft.
Insert the 1.5mm allen wrench into the hole to lock the diff. Turn the
right output shaft to change the adjustment. When the diff is installed in
the model, you will turn the wheel connected to to the right output shaft
to change the adjustment. It takes only a very small turn of the wheel
(right output shaft) to change the adjustment.
BAG C
Assemble the Turnbuckles and Upper control Arms. The dimensions
specified will give rough alignment. Final alignment should be done with
camber and toe gauges.
STEP C-1
Locate the (4) 24mm titanium turnbuckles, (1) 36mm turnbuckle (6) short
rod ends, (4) long rod ends, and (10) metal hollow-ball connectors. Notice
that each turnbuckle has both left and right handed threads (see diagram).
STEP C-2

ie Rods (Quantity: 2) Use the short rod ends on 24mm turnbuck
-
les for the tie rods. Assemble as shown.
STEP B-12
Fasten the left output shaft to the thrust washer retainer using three
2x4mm cap screws with split lockwashers. Tighten them firmly but be
careful not to overtighten. Repeat steps B-1 to B-12 to build the second
ball differential.
