difference when installing OEM or Cusco LSD

[aussiefan]

is there any difference when installing an OEM LSD or a Cusco one, like a different backlash on the CWP or another preload?

thanks guys

None, except for their own bolts that hold the carrier together may be a different size & spec from the stock LSD, and they may want thread locker instead of tabs for the bolts that hold the crownwheel/ring gear onto the carrier.

Cusco (& other aftermarket LSD's) requires red threadlocker for the stock bolts. As you can't use the stock 'lock plates' anymore.

Backlash/torque/etc is the same.

Fluid used should include friction modifiers for LSD's. I recommend Motul 90pa, from personal use of many types I tried. (Mobil 1, redline, amsoil, valvoline, etc.)
