Jim,
I got a set from TRF for about $40 after all my discounts. I was just
wondering if I should use them.
I have a 250, but I know the diff is not original (I think the original is
in my shed, it came with the car). How do I tell, from the outside, if it
is a solid or collapsible spacer unit?
Thanks,
Peter
