C Clip eliminating
Hi guys,
I have an 87 GTA. I recently got a hold of some new rear componants (Eaton posi dif, moser axles, ring and pinion, ect.). My new dif and axles are set up for c clips. My car dosnt have clips, so there is a flange on the end of the housing to fit a bearing that is pressed to the axles. I dont know what to do, am I able to just press new bearing on to the axles and not put c clips in there? or will that mess something up?
Thanks for the advice!

Re: C Clip eliminating
You bought parts for the wrong rear end. You bought parts for a 7.5 10 bolt and your car has the Borg Warner 9 bolt. You will have to get a 10 bolt or return the parts. The 10 bolt parts will not work n the 9 bolt rear end.

Oh ok, I got them from a friend so it's no big deal, will that ring and pinion match up though?

Not if its for the 10 bolt. Nor will any of the parts if they were for the 10 bolt.
