1. the diff circlip has a flat side and a radius edge side-be careful, install it per book--study the picture

2. diff pulley also has two different side, be careful, study the pic

3. ca glue (coat one very small drop) the anti squat sqaure-wait til it dries-so the pivot sphere fits snugged and doesnt get glued to the anti squat sqaure cut out-install per manual's directions..this will help prevent play here

4. use carbide diff balls if the stock ceramics slips, or tighten down the ceramics

5. coat ca on the shock towers edge

6. replace the rear tranny case with the newly updated/stronger tranny case

7. do not overtighten the wheel nut but, it may cause the axle to break, but make sure its tight,

8. lock tight the anti squat screws (not in manual)

9. diff thrust bearing has a small washer and big washer--dont get them mixed up

10. green slime shock orings

11. make sure the long diff screw is on the left side and short screw on the right side----do it per exploded pic

12. seen a few with this error, do not over tighten the front bottom shock screw, it will actually bind the front arm hinge pin.
