Default 8.8 wave spring performed works!

I can say I have successfully done the wave spring with success. Just to say, you don't have to pull the whole trans just half and both cvs. works as it tried to move the car onone tire on the hoist. went mudding and have mud on both sides but more dominanr on left.

yeah i was thinking the same thing spud. I thought it was something new that i never heard of, so i kept my mouth shut. sounds to me like they are talking about a truck. why would you take a neon mud bogging?

upon further research hes put and 8.8 wave spring in his differential to give it a posi- trac feeling for under 200 for this type of mod. if you own a truck.

Good job. I pulled to trans on mine to avoid damagin gthe carrier bearings and losing the spacer would be no fun either. Did manage to get the F-150 spring installed, but that is another story.

Hey I am not talking about my truck and I'm not crazy, just because I took the car out in mud. Can't help it it's ranch country out here. BTW this car will be rallied later. Oh and just to make you guys frown some more this neon pulled another neon to the shop again .... IN THE MUD. LMAO. Not ragging on you guys but why question someone's own perogative. Just to fill you in. The car has a nice interior a trashed door (door hinge), 4 Blown Struts and I got it for free. Just doing up the car to show people what a neon is made of and make it a tribute to who gave it to me. REDNECK STYLE.
