Did this and lasted for 15+ years.

By Wayne K. - 09/23/2004 11:04:53 AM; IP 199.64.0.252

I remember when that "$1.98 Posi" article came out in the 80's and I did it to 2 rears. The 1st died a miserable death after 1 year. The 2nd (my original trac-loc unit) was shimmed with extra shims and wow did that thing lock. It acted and sounded much like a Locker unit and didn't fail or loosen up at all even after 15 years. I finally pulled it apart last year and rebuilt it (without the extra shims) since I wont be racing it anymore. My recommendation is do it if you don't mind 50-50 odds...
