Aluminum split center diff mount

[Jared wagner]

Just installed the aluminum split center diff mount and noticed the bearing has alot of slop. I can move the diff back and forth toward the pinion. The plastic held the bearing tight. Hope it doesn't cause me to strip a spur. Anyone else notice this?

I have the full aluminum split center diff mount in my truggy. There is no slop at all in mine.

same here no slop, make sure you have the correct 2 parts on the right sides, they are not interchangeable. there is a "lip" on the one side.

 

[Pauly]

Yup. Usually fitment is perfect. I've installed 4 of them over the years.

 

[Jared wagner]

It's installed correct. Maybe I'll try new bearings. Maybe OD of my bearings are off.

If the bearings don't fix it i guess I'll call tekno.

What is the correct part number? I ordered the 5261 split diff mount is that correct?

 

[Jared wagner]

I ordered the TKR5262.

TKR5262 is all you need. TKR5261 includes the motor mount which is already included in the kit.

Ok thanks, I will reorder.

Yeah there's a pretty substantial price difference.

 

[Mongoose]

Yeah, me being in rush I ordered the full mount by mistake. Could’ve saved about $24.

No slop on mine either.

Besides the maintenance ease has anyone done a before and after temp to see the diff from the plastic?

I don't think it would make much difference in temp. Maybe just the bearings would run a little coooler.

No, but it does help take out a bit of chassis flex.

I have a lot of slop/play in mine as well. It is worse when I put on the rear upper M2C brace. I might just run it without that brace, I still have the short brace that angles down to the chassis on. Seems like the fit of these M2C parts could be a little better….
