Thanks, I need MB p/n's for these shims, there are several but they may have an assortment pack. If I can get one part number I can call and ask about the other thicknesses. If someone here has them gathering dust and would like a return on them,,,,,,,,,,,,,.?
The Wavertrac 48.309.185 WK is an aftermarket limited slip that replaces the the internals of the list of vehicles below.
The side bearing pre-load is set by using a case spreader and dial indicator set @0 and spread no more then .012". Bearings and snap rings are installed and the spreader released showing a desired retained spread of .007-.009" and remove the spreader.
This is adjusted via different thickness snap rings.
Then you move onto the back lash also adjusted with the snap rings but you have to keep the same total amount of shim thickness to maintain side bearing preload but shuffling the shims on both sides or you loose side preload. A common cause of failure because its overlooked. Some don't use a spreader and wing it and complain the Wavetrac is unreliable or noisy. Or get lucky.
