OK update time;

Engine rebuilt, 3.55 tranny in etc. Installed DSS axles. Started to pour in tanny fluid (which, incidentally, I'm using Mobil 1 high mileage. I'll test it out). Get a quart in and she starts pouring out on the passenger side. Get under and see that it's not quite all the way in (hmm, I thought it was when I installed it). Fart around and get it in more. Fill it up and take her for a spin. Get back see a drip under there. Gotta head out for Xmas stuff so I put a container under and this is what I see the next morning;



Just about a quart in the bottom. That's not a slight leak!

Crap, axle shoulder is no longer in. Pull out axle. Do some measure comparison to find that the DSS inner hub shoulder is actually smaller than stock (the green hub is stock).



Gotta deal with them on that.

Now I want to put in a beveled spring, but I figured for the sake of experiment, I gotta go with stock, no clip now. Slide that in there. Take her for a spin. No leaks yet.

And that's where we are now. We'll see how it progresses.

As for the OBX handling; I can definitely feel her pull more through corners. Get no difference on straightaways. No noises or other problems.
