I won't have mine driveable for a couple of months so I won't be able to compare. The bearings come full of assy grease already. No need to lube them up. Did you have any issues installing them? Did you verify your driveshaft length before installing?

Just Curious... sorry about your feelings, but after 3 or more phone calls a day for 2 weeks about noises that come and go, and a axle bearing that i dont have any control over fails, and a abs light that i asked you to have scan checked for diagnosis to help you fix...over the telephone, this was a little overwhelming to say the least. if i had to do this for everyone then no one would ever get a rearend! one thing i can not do for you is come to your location and babysit your installation to make sure everything is installed properly, the gear oil level is correct, and the abs harness is not damaged during the swap, or you did the proper gear break-in procedure that i preech before you drove it home at interstate speeds from the install shop.
you have a 4 channel abs car that has GM brakes, GM sensors, factory axle dimensions. the only thing in this not GM is the reluctor wheels that are on the axles, which Moser manufactures as a replacement. there should be no problems with any of this so i asked you have it diagnosed to find a possible area to look at and i never got a reply from you about this. so how did i refuse to fix the abs problem? is it even still there? wtf?
it took a minute, but i did refund you money for the axle bearing and labor that you had replaced. out of all the rearends sold, i have never had a tapered street bearing fail until yours. why did it fail? i still wonder about this, but i cant control the break-in procedure you do. maybe just bad luck... who knows.
in the end its all good i hope. i'm sorry about the bad experience, or bad luck maybe, but i did not push you off as another has stated. i have never pushed off any of my customers or bad after sale service... and i never will.
i am a small shop and cannot afford to get a bad rap about my work or products. there are always issues with suppliers and things that come up in this business... things i have no control over. the things i do have control over is the finished product. while i can never please everyone, the 99 percent that are speaks for itself.

That said, why would you ever say what you've said here? I know in my business, if we don't deliver what we promise the customer demands their money back or we make it right at all costs. And if we don't, they NEVER come back and the words they spread are decremental to growing our business.
Chalk it up to bad karma or whatever but talking **** to anyone on a public forum as a business owner is bad news IMHO.
Happy Motorin' !!

Put the car up on jack stands level. Rear stands should be under the axle tubes to load the suspension.
If the u-joint angles are not equal or +/- 2 degrees then you get vibes. Get a magnetic base angle finder at a hardware or big box store to check if that is not what you already have. Adjusting the TA should resolve the problem. Only other thing might be the drive shaft.

I could be off with my sizes here. but i know this is true.
Gm factory shocks are 7/16 bolt i believe. Eric makes the hole this size. I believe alot of aftermarket shocks are 1/2. So you have to open the hole up a little for aftermakrter shocks. Very common on these cars. Again i know this happens, just not sure on sizes.

Service manual says the cut end of the coil on the bottom of the spring needs to face towards the front of the car. Don't know why this would matter, but that's what it says.

i do have a crossmember/ds loop available for a true duals setup. it was designed around the TSP setup, but i'm sure there is plenty of room for any type of custom exhaust as well. it is the same price as all the others, just need to specify dual exhaust when ordering.

here's the deal...
the factory hole on the shock mount is 14mm(9/16"). *most* of the aftermarket shocks are 1/2"(13mm). the holes on my shock mounts are set at 1/2". if you have a stock type setup with the bigger bolt size all you have to do is ream the hole slightly.
i did this due to the fact that a majority of the people that are needing a better rearend are usually gonna have the aftermarket shocks as well. a factory size hole with a smaller size fastener will allow for sloppy clearance with the fastener. all the clearances are set tight on my setups. you can always make a hole bigger... it's real hard to make it smaller.

I'd like to know if you insist on getting what you pay for (i'd guess a resounding yes)? Seems to me that most everyone here (ATLSS included) believes you manufacture one hell of a product.
That said, why would you ever say what you've said here? I know in my business, if we don't deliver what we promise the customer demands their money back or we make it right at all costs. And if we don't, they NEVER come back and the words they spread are decremental to growing our business.
Chalk it up to bad karma or whatever but talking **** to anyone on a public forum as a business owner is bad news IMHO.

the dssl for the long t/a will be available by the end of the year... we have hand built one and are working out the production end of the deal with the cnc. the people that have ordered one with a rearend will be the first to recieve them.
