Default Riddlers

Just a few questions before I order...

Do the Riddler Diff Covers rub against anything?? Front? Back???

I looks pretty tight up front...is there any problem getting them on???

Do you use more gear oil in them? Quadratec says it has a raised fill plug to allow for more oil capacity...how much did you put in the front/back??

Mine is a X model, no rubbing front or back. Stuck with the stock volumes, put too much in and you could have a mess on your hands.

Mine are close but no rubbing so far. No problem getting them on. The oil capacity is about the same.

My front one has a very slight rub against the stock track bar--you can see where it's worn the paint off--just barely.

Remember: After-market covers may have more volume, so using the same amount of lube as for stock covers may be too little. And, after-market covers have the fill cap moved higher to allow for a lift/changed pinion angle. Filling them until it runs out of the fill cap may be too much, causing the differential to vent lube when hot. Fill them until the lube is above the bottom of the inside of the axle tube. Use your finger or a Zip-tie to check the height. Bottom line: The lube should be at the same height as the bottom of the stock fill cap would have had it.

No rubbing at all. Plenty of room. I do have the the teraflex front track bar though. Sorry if I failed to answer a PM about this question.
