The OEM offset 3 mount point setup leaves a lot to be desired for in terms of how much the differential moves when launching or unrolling heavy acceleration. This movement puts unneeded stress on the pinion and other differential internals and case. Our brace kit is designed to relieve that...
No worries you’re good, the fact it’s bolted is normal, however that photo I put of the papadakis racing tear down looks like there is no space in which to remove the cam gear off the camshaft without removing the cover. That was the part I was confused about because that would involve...
