    replacing LSD, what else should I do while the tranny is out and open?!

    I was just coming off a stop as usual then i felt a pop or snap and the car just revved while making a loud ticking sound as I moved forward.

    replacing LSD, what else should I do while the tranny is out and open?!

    well I ordered the mfactory and install kit from sam and the install kit has new axle seals and such. The clutch has 0 miles on it lol.

    Wheel Balancing Weights

    theres no max, but pending the weight of the wheels and quality of the wheels and tires, they may not balance out nicely as each other. One thing that can be done is the shop can '180' the tire. Spin the tire on the wheel 180 degrees to move the heavy spot to even out the weight distribution.
