I remember something about some sort of "squishable" nut or bearing adjustment. But after searching this and other forums for a couple hours, I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is that info available somewhere? 2x '88 2.6L Troopers (one for parts) '86 2.3L Trooper '99 Acura SLX Re: '86 rear diff ???

There shouldn't be many problems, unless it was run low on fluid, or the fluid was contaminated. Isuzu does use a crush sleeve to adjust pinion bearing pre-load. This goes between the nut and the outer pinion bearing and is a one time use item. If it squished too far, you need a new one. If you have problems, you probably need to have someone look at it. Diffs do not randomly have problems with the bearing preloads or settings. Something else must be wrong. Good Luck, Michael Re: '86 rear diff ???

But another '86 has come into my life, and I don't want similar troubles, so I was looking up that crushable sleeve thing which is the only problem I remember about the '86 diff. 2x '88 2.6L Troopers (one for parts) '86 2.3L Trooper '99 Acura SLX Moderated by  4x4Wire, houlster, jezeric, Jim_Paget, strawmyers  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
