My Duster is under the knife....TKX going in

What kind of sure grip? A clutch or cone unit? Either way, you will benefit from finding a large open parking lot and doing a series of figure 8s. That will break in the clutches or cones. If it's a new unit, it will be very tight until it's broken in. In a light car like an A body, it will drag a tire a little around a turn.
I'll have to ask the shop what they ordered. My old differential was a cone type (I think because I can see the springs). The new one is a brand new unit. This is the only photo I have of it before it was installed. Maybe someone can tell by the pic?

Thanks for the suggestion about figure 8's. I'll take it out today and try that.
New unit.
