Problem with 9" and True Trak We were setting up my 9" 31 spline 3.70 driveline solutions rear last nite and encountered a problem. before pressing the bearings and backing plates on, we test fitted the axles to ensure which was the longer side, we slid the axles into the housing and spun the axles and the yoke spun as well, so it seems everything is going ok. then we press the bearings and backing plates on and put them into the housing and spin the axles, nothing moves. Did moser send us the wrong axles being too short? has anyone else encountered this problem? thanks!
TTT guys,
I was the one helping on the install, and can attest the axles/center section was set in correctly. The more interesting thing is we measured the axle length and the axle tube length to the center section. On both sides we SHOULD be catching at least 1" of gearing on the centersection/axle. When you slide in the axle, it slides into the center section, but never catches a gear. If it weren't for Clay sticking in the axles BEFORE the axles are in, i would say he got 31 spline axles and 35 spline center section. We took the longer axle, slid it in the short side, and it did spin the center section.
I wanna believe it's just axles too short, but then why in the hell are the measurments telling us they aren't, and more importantely, we are slading the axle's into the centersection, as we can sit and see it from the other side of the housing going into the center section. It's like the center section and axles just arent "mating" up....I'm lost....
Clay-shoulda been a real man and just bought a real locker...

We had to use a piece of wood to hammer the bearing/axle in far enough to get the nuts on the t-bolts. From there we pulled the axles in by tighting up the nuts.

Moser sent you 3rd gen axles, I have had this same issue with them before. I'll have Moser send you a call tag for the wrong ones and get you the correct ones in a few days since they need to build them. Sorry for any inconvience this may have caused.
