I just got a 96 XJ country and the arb (older RD30 unit)cylinder cap bolts came out on previous owner and I am trying to fix it.
When I took it apart I did not see a crush sleeve ,but how do I no if it was put together right. I am also missing the inner pinion bearing baffle.Is that needed & what is the risk without it.
I got a install kit from Summit and they did not know which of the 2 kits they had was the right one. One had a crush sleeeve & one did not.
One had different pinion bearings than the other.
I got the kit with the same tail bearings I have & with no crush sleeve & I want to make sure what is supose to be in there.
I had a backyard mechanic put it together & when I got it back(front end is out of jeep) I was going over it & noticed that the pinion had a slight bit of side to side play at the gear , not good.
So I am taking it back to have it checked out & I want to make sure the right parts are there.
I am not to sure about this guy as he suposedly did set the pinion depth as stamped on it(with what tool I dont know)I think a micrometer & he did set backlash 4.5-9 thousanths (carrier is bent) But then I asked what the gear pattern looked like & he said he does not do that . He said if the pinion depth & the backlash is right then there is no need in the marking compound for gear mesh:helpme::flame:
Anyway am I supose to have a crush sleeve & what about the baffle
