Just got back from their shop. He assured me it is a new Dana gears and showed me paper work. He stated the edge is grinded for casing clearance. He gave three pancakes about it to the fact he damaged the thread and did not clean up the old RTV.
The CC dispute is in. I need a letter from a third party stating the work they did is faulty, wrong and disputable. I see this going higher, when that guy sees the money taken away all hell is going to break loose.:D He should have worked it out with me there today.

[color=000066]Let me show you guys the biggest rip off a shop can do to a man.
This is the differential as I started to disassembly it to install the heli coil. You figure, a shop would clean things up to do everything right. Look at the batwing bolts full of dirt, GM red RTV and the new black RTV. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/3907.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/3908.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/3909.jpg[/IMG] You figure to clean the surface to have a correct seal. This is why it was already leaking at garage temperature 66F. Imagine the nightmare at running speeds. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39010.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39011.jpg[/IMG] Dindt clean up inside the pumkin. Pig Farmer shop... [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39012.jpg[/IMG] Oh look how I got F'ed...This is supposed to be a "Brand new differential" [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39013.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39014.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39015.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39017.jpg[/IMG] Took me few minutes with a small wire brush and carb cleaner. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39018.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39019.jpg[/IMG] Helicoil installed [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39022.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39023.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/39025.jpg[/IMG] I guess tomorrow, I have to go there for them to take their used parts and give me my money back

Thanks for the ideas.
I'm thinking about taking it back there but, takes me an hour to get there. Would a helicoil work there? I already thought about the next size bolt. This one screws in it just no longer grip. I still mad, its 11:31 PM and it is the reason that I'm not even close to be sleepy.

Well, I poured oil in the diff today, I check later on and there is oil moisture at the bottom. I call that an oil leak. I opened the FSM and calls for 30 lbs ft and I find one bolt loose, loose without thread and that tells me the Fg ass-holes at the shop used an airgun to tighten the bolts. Which tells me that the inside and all other outer bolts are over-torqued.
I'm so FFFFF mad, you guys got no idea on how mad I am.

Ok Gents the 3.90 is finally home. Everything but, the pumpkin and batwing is NEW. The builder recommended me not to use synthetic gear oil. He highly recommended Lucas 85W140. Gave me instruction for a break in and to change the oil around 3,000 miles.
Today I ordered the heavy duty toe rods and poly bushings for the batwing. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/3906.jpg[/IMG]

I agree Magnaflows are great outside but the drone wears me out at freeway speeds.
I communicated with a guy via PM about his chambered exhaust and he stated he gets no drone at freeway speeds. Corsa has a great drone reputation and I've regretted not buying it. I will not install LT mufflers tips.

Oh yes, I have never done a diff. I dont even have the required tools to dial that bad boy. I would like to learn, this would make a great rep for anyone specially if you drop the labor co$t on it.

It is no picnic to remove that SOB, the price is no picnic either. I figure, you take a Vette to the shop they will hammer you on labor to remove/install the differential. Add parts and labor for the gears.
Remember, everything started when I discovered the bad trailing arms' bushings.

The only one thing I did not mess with it, it's now a "must do". There is play on the driver's side yoke and it has to be fixed. If I dont fix it, it will start leaking gear oil and on the long run I'll have to do it anyways. I figure if it has to be fixed, this is the time for me to upgrade. Its a 3.45 from factory, the 4.10 I read many different opinions and a 3.73 is only 0.28 difference. I figure a 3.90 would give me a change like the the 3.07 gives to the 2.59 on the automatics transmission. My 92 was a 2.59 but, my 95 is a 3.07 and the second I stepped on it I knew there was something different and once I got on the freeway I confirmed it.
I think the 3.90 would eliminate some of the Magnaflow drone I get on the freeway. I already removed most of the suspension components to remove the trailing arms and knuckle. Today I removed the exhaust, emergency cable, disconnected the driveshaft's U-joint and removed the C-Beam's bolts. Thanks to the ZFDoc's plates that was easy. I got the whole assembly off, I got no idea how the heck I'll put back in there b ut, I'll let you guys know.

I can't do that with the ZF transmission. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/390/3905.jpg[/IMG]

Here it is finally got some time to download and load etc etc
This is where the play is: [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure.jpg[/IMG] Look at the gap inside the bushing. A reminder that VBP requested for me to send these TAs back to them for them to properly install the correct bushing. [I]Key words: properly install the proper part.[/I] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure1.jpg[/IMG] The trailing arm measures at 34.70 mm. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure2.jpg[/IMG] The bushings are way short at 28.61 mm. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure6.jpg[/IMG] I looked at the bushing very closely and found more defects. Looks like "they" don't really had the correct part for the 1996 Corvette TAs. They had to patch it up so they grabbed an already made bushing not for a Corvette and cut it up with a utility knife and made the hole for the sleeve bigger. The bushing structure was compromised plus the gap inside didn't help. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/Bushing%20Failure/BushingFailure7.jpg[/IMG] yes, I know. Gimp doesn't do spell check:leaving: What bothers me? Bothers me that I ordered for a 96 at the time a 12 year old car. Not like I was the very first person ordering poly bushings for a Vette. Bothers me that I had to pay shipping to send the TAs to Florida for their mistake. Bothers me that they sent them ready to be installed with the sleeve in and bothered me even more I didn't checked it. Bothers me that this could have ended up in an accident with the high possibility of me going down a cliff or crash on a mountain. Bothers me that this could have been other guy that is not mechanically inclined and he would have to pay a mechanic to fix this mess. I get to save on labor but, I loose my time, lost money and had to postpone my alignment. If you have a 96 and you installed bushings from this company get up and check on your Corvette now!!! The company is a CF Supporting Vendor so I'm not going to bash them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IjU7Ha17BQ

If you ever purchased aftermarket bushings from VB&P for your 96 with fiberglass trailing arms (TA) read this post.
[IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/CELT4113.jpg[/IMG] If you have the fiberglass TA you may ran into an issue that the bushings were too small for the trailing arms. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/CELT4117.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/Suspension/CELT4118.jpg[/IMG] Likely you called the vendor and they convinced you to mail them the TAs to VB&P in Florida for them to make "custom" bushings. Check on your Vette's rear, if you have play and the bearings are good there is a possibility (100% on my case) that your bushings are gone. My bushings are two years old, not even 10,000 miles and are gone, ripped. Why? because they did a band aid job, they just tapped the TA with the head of some bushing and stuck the hallow rod leaving an empty space in the center of the trailing arms bolt area. I ordered adjustable new trailing arms from Van Steel, I'm not going to deal with them again. Check your Vette, be safe  [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRXIcon.jpg[/IMG]

You can not expand the UCA's thread longer than an inch. I calculated the size and alignment and installed 9-1/8" shims. Thats why I had to use shims without shims the UCA would expand longer than an inch.
They come without instructions but, I searched and found them.

First, I'd like to thank Brian Cinnungham for his help on this project.[IMG]http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss111/quigonjinn1/thumbup1.gif[/IMG]
About a year ago I bought the SPC's Upper Control Arms. Few days ago I finally decided to remove them from the living room and get them installed. Lift Vette, place jackstands, remove tires, remove dust shield and remove upper ball joint [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA.jpg[/IMG] Cleaned the ball joint [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA1.jpg[/IMG] Remove the UPC [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA2.jpg[/IMG] Test the new BJ bolts. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA3.jpg[/IMG] Match to fit the new UPC with the old one. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA4.jpg[/IMG] Using 1/8" shims, match the size of shims and spacers. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA5.jpg[/IMG] I used krazy glue to keep shims together. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA6.jpg[/IMG] Test to fit, Check- [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA7.jpg[/IMG] Installed shims, Torque UPC bolts to 40 lbs-ft. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA8.jpg[/IMG] Torque BJ bolts to 13 lbs-ft [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA9.jpg[/IMG] Torque the three pivot bolts to 60 lbs-ftf. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA10.jpg[/IMG] Grease up the UPC. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA11.jpg[/IMG] Torque the upper BJ between 50~88 lbs-ft or until the cotter pin hole aligns. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA12.jpg[/IMG] Drove around the neighborhood for about a mile to get things down. Quick but, not official alignment. Good enough at "-0.50" Camber to make it to the alignment shop. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA13.jpg[/IMG] Very easy to make adjustments [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/PLRX%20LT4/SPCUCA/SPCUCA14.jpg[/IMG]

I agree, I wish I did that with my 96. The Magnaflow Cats come without heat shields. I wrapped them with heat wrap and that reduced a lot of the heat problem but, it still gets warm down there.

Few of you say that you did not remove the tranny. On a manual tranny, how did you get the spline back in with the tranny + C-beam on place?

That's aluminum, 40 lbs-ft. I've done it 5 times and I'm alive. Ensure you use red thread locker.

One thing, ensure you use red loctite on the upper wishbones nuts (big). Torque all four to 40 lbs-ft. I upgraded to poly and found out they were coming out loose.

Is always great to meet and chat face-to-face with Corvette owners, specially C4 owners. Chow was good and lots of interest topics specially "the butane AC"!!
I wish I live closer, driving home was tough.

I should be able to make it. I need some Tylenol, Aleeve and Motrin.
Yesterday, I dropped my DD's rear suspension to change the bushings. My back (press) is killing me. [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/Focus/PolyBushings1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/plrx/Focus/PolyBushings3.jpg[/IMG]

I wish I knew its a good product. I didnt buy it at the time because I didnt know anything about it. Next time, my LT1 is at 107,000 miles. If I dont sell her, I'll do the same surgery + 4L60E rebuild on it.

Its all good! FYI, I used the OEM end links so, there is no pre-load. I guess by me using the word geometry I F-it up. What I meant is that if you get one end link bolted and you drop the LCA it will be difficult to get the other end link bolted....not impossible but a PITA yes.
