Diiferential, both bearings failed, Help?
94' ex coupe with GSR swap. I chose the LSD from my swap source. It is an OEM differntial, but not a Type-r, but came uninstalled. Durring install, I had to swap sealed bearing in place of tapered. Also some case grindng involed to fit. After I went turbo shortly after, I broke the stock axels, 1 napa set, and 1 set of raxels. After the last break, i heard a "whirr" noise from the trans that I decided to be diff bearing noise. I pulled the trans the othernight and opened to confirm.
My question is 3 part. What would cause both bearings to fail? I know axel breakage is the obvious answer, but since this was my first diff install, I question my instalation. I used the instuctions from Hybrid,com and the helms though. Can unnesesary "pre load" cause this?
Secondly, I heard nothing, but good thing about raxels. Why did they break? Any experiances?
Last, does anyone have a link some some qulity info about this Honda diff? I was told it was a JDM option on an Integra (SIR i read somewhere?).
Thanks in advace
