Just purchased a WAVETRAC LSD, a couple questions

Hello AMGZ

I just ordered a Wavetrac LSD
I would like to ask is what parts should I replace with it,I've read that the bearings are a must for sure, I would normally do something like this myself, but want to be honored with the warranty, so I plan on having all the parts available for when I take it to a reputable shop. I have attached the EPC components hoping the knowledgeable can pick some numbers for me.


If there is any other variable that I may be missing, please let me knw. My plan is to make this go by as smooth as possible.


Thank you

I replaced all the seals, bearings, and bushings/mounts when doing mine. Adds up in a hurry but as mine had 200K miles it wasn't worth skimping out. I've got about 6K miles on the 5.4 and Wavetrac now.

No - the 210 is bigger and won't fit. You need the one that is more typically advertised for a Chrysler Crossfire or SLK. It's part # 48.309.175WK.

FYI - there is a slight modification to the flanges required.
