Egress ball diff. HELP!
Egress ball diff. HELP!
I am in the process of rebuilding an Egress runner and I am having trouble with the ball diffs. When I tighten the screws it binds in certain spots. It feels smooth all the way around but stiffens up in one area of the rotation. Because it is held together with three screws around the outside rather than one through the center it seems to me that it is almost impossible to keep the pressure even all the way around as I tighten them. If I loosen the screws enough to eliminate the problem then the diff slips to much for my liking. I have checked all the parts to see if anything is bent/worn but everything looks fine. Has anybody else had this problem? Is it just a flaw in the design or are there any tricks to getting this right?

Re: Egress ball diff. HELP!
In my king cab, It was just the matter of finding the correct shims to put in there so that you can crank all 3 screws tight and still turn the diff. They are a poor design but I think thorp made a diff for the king cab that will also work in your egress.
