The CV axles now run at a steeper angle at full droop than they were designed for, and at the extreme they bind - which shows up as a clunk over a whooped-out road, accelerated boot wear, and in the worst case a failed joint miles from pavement. Dropping the differential a fixed amount pulls the inboard end of each axle down toward the outboard end and puts the joints back in their working range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICON builds the kit from CNC laser-cut, precision brake-formed steel finished in semi-gloss black powder coat, and it swaps the soft OE differential bushings for polyurethane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICON calls 55160 required for its coilover installations on these platforms, so if a set of ICON coilovers is on the build sheet, this kit belongs in the same order.
