Side Bearings

[Alan G]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a part number for an english diff side bearings?

I'm getting an lsd built up shortly - I've found a few on the web but theres a different bearing number for a tran x lsd listed? Thought they may have been the same??

48548-10: English Axle Side Bearing (Timken)

29749-10: Side Bearing Tran-X English LSD (Timken)

The tran-x diffs have larger internal diameter bearings, this allows larger shafts to be run. If you tried to run the big shafts in a normal LSD you would have to open up the part of the diff through the bearings so much it would be too weak.

So its the tran x bearings I need then??

I'll be running standard halfshafts if it makes a difference??

Who's diff is it? I suspect you need the normal ones - they're more common.

Bought the lsd from montgomery motorsport...

Diff is from my old axle - 3.89 - large prop flange

I see on their web they mention Tran-X but you might be safest to call them if you're not 100% sure mate.
