ISSUE:
Too much differential end clearance may cause cocking of the rear support bushing, allowing the bushing to spin or turn, blocking off lube to the differential assembly, resulting in premature wear or damage to the assembly.

ACTION:
Seven new # 18 selective thrust washers have been released to allow for a finer adjustment of the differential end clearance.
