Hi, I'm doing a diff swap from the original 4.10 to a medium case 3.73 and having a weird problem.
First, the 3.73 holes match up to the mounting bolts fine. However, the big bushing is a full half an inch off set to the mounting flanges with the diff being too high. Additionally, the drive shaft is binding either on the bottom of the car or inside the hole of the floating cross member from above.
So, the entire diff is at least .5" too high - enough to be a problem. Googling yields no similar stories. Anybody ever see this?
I'm thinking my cross beam must be bent but thats a lot of bendage! Should I attempt to put washers above the diff to lower it? Half an inch of washers is a lot but probably would work. What should I do?
