    Question IRS Differential Mounting Concern - Sleeves

    Happy President's Day everyone,

    I just installed the center section for the IRS and while I am able to torque all 4 bolts, I want to confirm the following situation is not an issue, or if it is, how I could fix it.

    Driver Side

    Passenger Side

    I read in other forum posts that it is normal for the metal sleeve inside the mounting bushing to slide up towards the differential as you torque it. However, this only happened on the passenger's side, not on the driver's side. RedRaider58 said they called FFR and that as long as all 4 are torqued, you are good to go, but I still wanted to check the collective knowledge. Thought this could perhaps introduce some imbalance or maybe I'm being too meticulous and a 2-3mm difference is not a big deal in this situation

    Thanks!
