I'm confused...
I was installing my chromo birfields and had a question when i put the shaft in the birf it is loose and does not hold its self in the birf for instance if i hold it up by the birf the axle will slide out is it ok to run it this way?
my clips broke that is why i didnt put them back in there does any body sell them? and will it be ok just for this one weekend because i wont have time to pull it back apart before i go wheelin thanks tyler
Why would you finished an install, knowing it was missing a part, without first finding out if it would make a difference.
I'm fairly sure that one of the first Longfields that broke was the result of the inner axle rubbing on the birfield housing causing a stress or weak point that eventually resulted in a crack.
