[QUOTE="Boonie Buster, post: 1484930, member: 15974"] How did I know when I read the title that you had posted this. :D I'm curious as to what others think as well. :corn: I can see the crush sleeve being desirable as it comes with the "kit" so it's not an extra part to buy. Easier to setup essentially, you crank on the nut till it has preload, done. I can also see how a solid spacer is good, no flex as zukkev mentioned, repeatability with pinion preload using shims, assuming the bearings aren't toasted. I would argue (of course with nothing to back it up) that a crush sleeve would have to have some very severe shock, to the point of something else in the diff failing, before it "lost it's spring". I just feel that something else in the diff would have been setup wrong or failed in order for the crush sleeve to not keep tension on the bearings (pinion nut coming loose, bearing failure, etc.) I know you guys will correct me since i'm wrong. :redneck: [/QUOTE]
