BMW Differential C-Clip (Snap Ring) Precision Adjustment Kit — Post-1999
Installing a new LSD or changing the gear ratio on your post-1999 BMW? Correct carrier preload and backlash are critical for quiet operation and long life. The RacingDiffs Precision C-Clip Kit gives you the fine adjustment range needed for a factory-grade setup.
Features
- Precision adjustment: Kit spans ~3.0–4.0 mm in 0.1 mm steps to dial carrier preload/backlash precisely (10 pieces included).
- Noise prevention: Fine steps help eliminate whine and chatter that come from improper setup—especially after adding an aftermarket LSD carrier.
- Broad compatibility: Designed for BMW non-M models (post-1999) such as E46, E9X, E8X, E39, E60, and others.
- Hassle-free verification: Unsure on size? Send us your VIN and we’ll confirm the correct kit.
Performance Benefits
- Factory-like setup: Achieve correct bearing preload and backlash after LSD install or ratio swap.
- Quiet, durable operation: Proper setup protects gears and bearings and keeps the differential silent.
- Faster setup time: Fine increments reduce trial-and-error during final assembly.
Technical Specs / Installation Tips
| Intended use | Carrier preload and backlash adjustment on post-1999 BMW differentials (non-M). |

| When to use | After installing an LSD carrier or changing final drive ratio; whenever backlash/preload must be reset. |
| Measurement | Use a dial indicator at the ring gear to set backlash to BMW specification; verify tooth contact with marking compound. |
