These were removed from my rearend during the rebuild.  does anyone know why they are different and why one is larger than the other?  This was a non posi 3.23.

The one on the right has the adjuster on it that is used to set the axle end play.  :2thumbs:

Terrble One is right. I'm thinking that when they rebuilt the rearend they removed the tapered bearings and installed what some refer to as the "Green" bearings.

should also be a clip that fits into one of the slots in the one on the right, if i remember right that one has to be on the pass side (its been 6 years since i did mine) for the adjustment, but like they said maybe someone put the green bearings in,

These were the ones I removed and after reading up on the green bearings I think that is the direction I will go.  I have looked at several of the posts and have read up on these, but I cannot find any specifics on the part that needs to be removed from the sure grip.  I will keep looking, but if anyone has a link I would greatly appreciate it.

Gas, the part that needs to be removed is the thrust button. With green bearings there is no axle endplay adjustment so that part needs to be removed.  :yesnod:

The button is located in the center of the SG unit and must be disassembled to remove it. Take that opportunity to inspect the bearings and replace anything that looks supect.  ;)

Dr Diff can fix you up with a good set of green bearings....i would trust his recommendation.  :2thumbs:

The thrust button is required with any stock/aftermarket axles that use tapered bearings. Not sure if the buttons come installed or not. I would check with the SG manufacturer to see if the buttons come installed or not.  ;)

Thanks Ron.  Once again I owe you.  If you start collecting all of these from everyone you will not need to work for some time.
