It's going in the shop Monday. If I had a lift I would do this myself, I have the knowledge and the tools. I have done stuff like this But, I just turned 61 and I'm getting too old to go crawling under a car on jack stands. My back can't take it anymore.
The place (who works on mostly BMW, VW, Porsche and others) is charging me $600 out the door.

Well, one of the diff bearing fell apart when the installer removed the open diff. Now I'm waiting for new bearings I ordered from MFactory... Strange, car only has 24k on it, did not expect that.. Hoping to get them by Friday or Monday, car is up on their lift waiting for the part.

I spoke with Stef today and he told me he had one new set left so I took them. When he removed the open diff the pass side bearing roller balls fell out of the carrier (for the lack of any other word). I was not there to see this so, can't say much more then that and I never have seen this type of ball bearing so, not sure. He could have damaged it when removing it off the carrier, who knows. I never did an install for a BMW so, I'm in the dark. American muscle cars, yes more then once. You know how that goes, no shop I know of will admit to any wrong doing (except for my friend who does not work on BMW's). Right not I just want to get my hands on the new bearings and get this done.

Im no mechanic and know f'all about bearings but i thought ball race bearings are supposed to come apart from the inner and outer races? Leaving the balls attached to the plastic cage. So unless they fell out of the cage because it was broken?

new bearings are install and the new LSD is perfect.!! Installed my own lock down bracket as well which totally eliminated all the wheel hop and is quiet, no wine. I am selling these brackets if anyone wants one for their small diff auto. $115 shipped. Just PM me.

135droptop > I have my order on deck for the LSD. Going to wait for the shims they're making. That said, based on your experience...what else is needed for the install besides fluid? Any bolts, etc? What's the "roller bearing conversion" and should I do it? Thanks for the informative post.

135droptop > Thanks man, I'll keep that in mind. In terms of the shims, I saw this on n54tech:
http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28168 (Posts: 8). Granted, it's a different car (335), but just curious if perhaps the same issue could be replicated on the 1-Series. Just doing a little due diligence. I want to do it right the first time you know. |
