87Stallion

I am swapping out my rear diff. I have a 87 GT. I got a diff from a 92 LX.

My diff has some sort of weight bolted to the housing and the diff from the 92 LX doesn't

What is the purpose of this weight? And Is it needed?

86 5.0L

Its a balancer of sorts, some remove them, some dont, its up to you

So it won't hurt anything to leave it off?

it's a counter weight, you can remove it or transfer it over.
