You stole that, type 2 4.3 ratio Torsens usually command 800+ since the spec guys run them.

Braineack,

From what I was told, the abs axles itself has these tone rings attached to them. The hub itself just mounts the rubber lines that guides the sensor to the tone rings on the axles. Correct me if I'm wrong.

the end of the axles, where the abs ring gear is attached, that wobbles around on the shaft...that can be removed from the shaft.


does that make sense?


you have to undo the rubber boot and pull it off. then you put your abs ones onto the shaft and repack the boot, and install them.
