We attempted to mount the diff but could not get the uppermost bolts to thread. The top of the diff was hitting a chassis cross member so we notched it just a little to get it to fit. We got the diff mounted up, now on to the axles. The axles fit no problem with a little speed sensor shimming, however, the stock ti bolts that mount the axle to the diff are not long enough, the axles I bought came with new bolts that do work but the little linking washers that bolt the inner CV to the diff are not big enough for the new bolts.... Tomorrow I am heading to the junk yard with my buddy to try and figure this out.... ***RAGE QUIT*** | This link may help you: http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28910 __________________ Alpine Weiß 1995 318ti
