Re: Need some posi parts help.

Did some reading and phone time today. Most 73 up posi units are very light duty many break the case. Seems the Eton style or Eaton posi with springs and clutches used to chatter a lot. So they switched to lighter duty springs and clutch material.

Found my old 12 bolt truck posi doesn't and never had carbon friction discs. (I thought they had been burned off.) They have a uniform cross hatch pattern texture. THey were/are the noisy ones. The clutch plate type can be tailor built per individual with springs shims ect. Like 800 lbs springs vs 300 lbs.

Still need the washer/bearing.
