About to install a Quaife LSD in an '02... Quick question
Is there something different about installing an LSD on a 2002?
I've seen a few referrences about how it is somehow different to install an LSD on an 02 compared to later model C32s and C55s.
Anyone know more about this?

I remember some thing about having to use different axles. There are two types, the push in and I think clip ins. There was also some sort of mention of being able to use clips from a gm differential, but I don't quite remember the details.
I'll have to get the saved info that I have on my other computer.

I've been doing a lot of searching, without much luck

What is the model of your LSD?
When I installed mine (2+ years ago), I had a leak from one side and had to get a later version of the axles. But I hear that Quaife changed things and the QDF7V should fit all axle types now vs. only the push-in version of the axle. Maybe someone with a more resent install will comment.

The Quaife diff only comes with the carrier right? The gears have to be all setup again, right? Does the Quaife come with shims (if needed?)?

Quaife sort of brushed me off; a sales guy whom obviously didnt read the query completely.(have resent another mail to Quaife basically asking the same thing) They did however advise me to contact these guys in the UK: http://www.birdsauto.com/quaife/sear...01&mi=C+32+AMG
They have two kits for the 32. Have sent them an email aswell. Wait and see,
Model code Description Application Retail Price:
203 Quaife Merc. Limited Slip Diff. Kit C 32 AMG, Final Drive with Output Flange
203 Quaife Merc. Limited Slip Diff. Kit C 32 AMG, Final Drive with Plug-in driveshafts
