ECGS bearing install

I just installed the ECGS diff bearing on my 2005 with 2.5" lift. Wow what a difference it makes. Must have been a ton of play in the original bearing. It never rode this smooth even without the lift. A piece cracked off the old bearing when I was removing it and I had to fish it out. Almost didn't see it. If your doing this upgrade you might want to double check the old bearing once you remove it.

 

Mine was done last week! hell ya!

 

Yep. My little roller bearing did the same thing.

 

It's actually enjoyable to drive again. No more driving over a rumble strip feel!

 

Did mine many years and 100k miles ago.... no issues since

 

Agree totally.... did mine two weeks ago and a night and day difference.

I also cracked a portion off and it was in two pieces.... finally found both with a magnet.

 

FWIW, mine only had 40k miles on it

 

Yep, sounds like it's pretty common to break off a little piece. I did the same on mine and luckily got it out too. I think it happens when putting the little puller tool in place. I had some plastic stuck down in there so it couldn't go far.

 

Here’s mine. Didn’t realize it til I was cleaning up before reassembly and about to throw it on the trash. Whew.
