What make of axles did you use?
if I understand,
- you re-used the same spacer your homo axles had originally?
- you installed in one piece
- you retorqued each bolt. (using Loctite? What torque?)
- re-used existing diff seals?
I recall you previously used the 3M 5200 that I used. Did it ever fail? Mine has worked well, but there are now new cracks on larger diameter end near inner can where it maybe flexes more. Could re-seal, but seems it is now time for new axles or boots! |
If you got new axles direct from Mercedes reusing the old spacers does not guarantee a fit.
On the Chinese axles people have in some cases slid on the spacers and found that the spacers will not go up flush aging the housing as they are supposed to due to the way the axle was machined and it hanging up on the inside diameter of the Spacer.
You won't know till you get your axles and see.
