Important Information:

Axles are shipped with no bearings on them. Your stock backing plate needs to go on first then the bearings get pressed on behind them.

Axles and center section are dropped shipped and may show up at an earlier or later time than the housing.

When putting on the backing plates,  the longer axle goes in the passenger side (right)   The short axle goes in the driver side (Left)

non adjustable aftermarket torque arms do not fit without modification.

We recommend adjustable torque arms only

 

Proper Bearing & Backing Plate Assembly for Trick Chassis 98-02 F-Body 9″ Rear with LS1 Backing Plates

This is a common question, so here’s a step-by-step guide to get it right the first time.

Critical Bearing Installation Steps:

1. Install Wheel Studs First – Use Loctite and torque them properly before moving on.
2. Position the Backing Plates – Slide them onto the correct axle:
   • Long axle = Passenger side
   • Short axle = Driver side
3. Press the Bearings On – Make sure the O-ring is closest to the axle flange (see pic 1).
4. Press on the Lock Rings – Do this only after the bearings are fully seated against the bearing spacer.
5. Install the Seals – Use a seal installer to press them into the housing ends (see pic 2).

Getting these steps right ensures a proper fit and long-lasting performance. 🔧
