Default eliminate dog bone slippage in trucks (should work for cars also)

this might be a repost but idk if i ever posted it in the first place it well here it is

Ok so i was driving my titan on carpet and then it stopped. The dogbones were not in the diff. The truck has a lift but i didnt have lift dog bones for it only stock, so the were not staying in the slots of the differencail so i came up with this.

Here is what you'll need



The truck of course
a spring from a pen, you could use and evo car spring too
something to cut the spring
and a screwdriver

Cut the spring to around half a cemtimeter length





unscrew the knuckle and take out the dogbone



drop the cut part of the sping in the cup





Reinsert the dogbone



you will notice that it should stay put if you shake it but it still moves easily when you push it



And heres the result



compaired to the other side where this wasnt preformed yet



you can see how it is barly in the diff

now do the other side, and the front if your vehical has 4 wheel drive

this can be done on a car too, but i havent ever had any slippage problems in one so i havent done it yet
