Karl, Jaime: what about fine tuning the alignment of the differential, once you get to the point of connecting the driveshaft? IIRC, when I swapped differentials on my 124 last fall, new bushings were supposed to be installed with a special tool in order to get the differential aimed directly at the driveshaft so the entire assembly would be straight and (I assume) minimize flexing at the flex disc and sideways loading on the bearing at the nose of the differential. I didn't have the special factory tool, used a Mark 1 Mod 0 Eyeball and calipers, paid attention to alignment of the old diff and focused on getting the new diff into the same position. The fore/aft depth of each bushing can affect the diff alignment, if they are grossly different. ------------- Max Charleston SC
