Okay so i'm ripping through my rear axle and redoing everything, 3.55 gears, all new bearings and seals, rear disc brake conversion, new brake lines, painting, and a nice torsen differential. So my question is that for some reason I happen to have the deluxe ford installation kit and am a little questionable on the parts in it. Everything that has come out of the axle so far has been all timken parts which I prefer. Now the part I don't like is that 4 of the bearings in the kit are Koyo and 2 are SKF, does or has anyone else come in contact with this kit and gotten bearings of this type? I thought ford used nothing but timken in the first place. Did they change or do I have a knock-off kit? In case you are wondering, it is the M-4210-C kit.
Also being that they are Koyo and SKF, how well should they fare in the axle long-term (still tedious on using them)?
Lastly, with the torsen differential, would anyone know what specific fluid I should use (being that it has no clutches)?
