Just picked up a used trooper. I just noticed that the output cvs on it wigle around and it seems like the output shafts are a little loose. Is this normal? Is this an issue with the shims being done incorrectly? Will a diff upgrade kit fix this problem? How normal is it for the diff seals to leak a little?

The cv hub that slips onto the differential output shafts is loose on all of the Troopers. The upgrade kit does not change this nor does it include seals. The seals should not leak but a little leaking won't hurt anything as long as you watch the oil level and don't let it run low. If you put in the diff upgrade kit, which is advised, I would replace the seals at the same time. The seals are available at any power transmission or industrial supply store. If you buy the upgrade kits directly form me through this forum, They are $90 per kit including shipping. On Ebay they are $99.99 plus shipping. The kit corrects internal looseness as well as well as ring and pinion mis- alignment along with strenghting the bolted connection of the ring gear which often fails.. As far as the CV hub being loose on the output shaft, I'm working on a fix for this. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems that have been apparent to anyone yet but I just don't like the looseness and it has got to be making some noise. I'll keep the forum updated on that effort. If I offer it as an upgrade, it will be an exchange program, your hubs for modified ones. That is provided your hubs are in good condition and don't have worn or damaged ball slots nor bad spleens.

Diff kits will be available for shipping on this coming Monday. All those that wanted kits will be sent a PM. Thanks for the support. Thats what encouraged me to go ahead and make up another batch. The shocks bottom joint is not serviceable. Don't know about the Troopers with the newer shocks but my guess is they are not serviceable either.

Hey Lenny think I will go ahead and order a kit for the rear from you if you want to put me on your list. Also do you know what size the seals are or do you have a part number for them so I can order them and have them ready before I pull the diff apart? Thanks.

What I was hoping you would do is make a concave/vez mold to press some new spherical washers for us. I'd do it, but I'm faaarrrrr from my old tool and die shop. If you want to know how to make your manual lathe do a perfect convex or concave surface, PM me. I'm pretty sure I got the spherical radius right, just in case I had a chance to do it myself...

I know how to make the dies ok. What is the radius, ID, OD and how thick are the washers. It wouldn't really be that hard to do. Getting the final ID and OD correct after pressing might be a bit tricky. I'll consider it after I get caught up a bit.

Lenny,

Near as I can measure, the rad is 39mm measured to the outside of the spherical surface. It sounds odd, as I suspect it's actually 40 but 40 didn't work. I would suggest using the same shim stock you use for your diff shim kits for the material - otherwise it'll end up the same scored mess. I'm sure you'll need to play around to get surfaces to match.

MTL is .025 thk.

I'm curious - what method do you use to get the correct rad on a manual lathe?

I use a radius cutter. The one I'm using is like a Letter 'E'. It sets upright just like it is written (actually facing left if you know what I'm saying) and pivots at the end of the top horzontal leg and bottom horizontal leg. The cutter extends out from the middle of the vertical leg and is adjustable in or out to past the top and bottom ends for concave and before for convex. The whole assembly mounts in the tool holder slot on the crossfeed table. Bought the tool about 35 years ago and even though I don't use it often, it saves the day every once in a while. I have actually made my own ball joints once with it.

      550 - Diff fluid change and final drive?
      By mcraigchr
      Howdy y'all,
      I have the service manual, but it leaves me with questions.
      1)  It is time to change the diff fluid.  The service manual says 80w-90 for the rear and Dextron 3 ATF for the front!  Is that correct?  That seems odd to me.
      2) The service manual also speaks of the need to change the transmission fluid but gives no detail about it.  What needs to happen here?
      3). The service manual also discusses changing the final drive fluid with 80-90 Hypoid.  Is the final drive actually the tranny?
      Any details about the changing of the fluid or what fluid to use ... or even other things that need to be changed that the manual does not mention would be appreciated.
      Thanks,
      Craig C.

      No crank issue
      By Flanman55
      2007 Hisun HS700  will not crank.  Replace the ignition switch. Same thing.  Replaced solenoid by the battery same thing. Can jump it and it starts good across the solenoid posts. Ran a jumper wire from switch to solenoid. Nothing 
       
      can anyone suggest something else.

      Challenger 750 flywheel issue
      By Croppy38
      I own a 2017 Challenger 750 and had the key way snap at the flywheel. It was removed and cleaned up and then the  flywheel was put back on with a new keyway. It snapped a second time so the flywheel and keyway both were replaced. They both seem to fit nice and tight. Put it all back together and it snapped again. I have no idea why it is doing this.

      Hisun Sector 450 (2021) - help diagnose rear diff issue (short video included)
      By camojay
      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?
