MX73 F series diff tension?

[beasht]

Howdy,

Just a quick question. Im in the process of getting my diff rebuilt for my 85 MX73 Cressida and just need to know what tension it needs to be at?

[CrUZida]

Surely any diff shop worth using should know this?

I too suggest a new shop.

The diff is somewhat fairly common and was released to the Australian Market.

Unless there is a major shortage...

haha yeh I think a new diff shop is in order
I doubt there would be a major shortage hey, I don't think he really knows where to look thats all.... Definitely go somewhere else when it comes TruTrac time
Cheers for that by the way Cruzida

Cheers.
and where would one aquire these SST's do they come in a kit or something.

[CrUZida]

Toyota, and mucho expensive.

They have ONE SPECIFIC tool for ONE TASK.
Rather than a general tool that will do many tasks.

No worries man go for it, these are the guys to ask.
I've learn't more from these guys than any so called "specialist" that I've taken my car to
