Okay...Rob passed these on to me. He didn't have time since he was getting ready for ECC.

I opened the bag to find some really nice XVD's. They are very smooth and the machine work is great.

I did find two things we need to fix before production. The pin that holds the XVD together is to short (not a big deal). The other thing is the ball on the end of the axle shaft is just a little too small. It has a little more movement that I think is acceptable. Again...another easy fix.

Installation was a breeze. I didn't take any photo's as everyone has seen the inside of an axle.

Everything fit together very well. Bearings, e-clips, and diff.

The increase in steering is pretty big. These now turn really well. I can't wait to mount them tomorrow and give them a run.

Just showing the XVD installed compared to stock.

This shows the difference between the stock and XVD set. The XVD set is on the bottom.

XVD is on the right.

I will test them tomorrow. Should be able to get some video and some pictures.

Here is a little taste of the testing for these.

We are checking a few things. XVD pin length and a little movement in the XVD joint. Then we will test some more. We want to get these XVD's right before releasing them. So a lot more testing. ;)
