Finally got a good ring gear pattern (pics)
I had a used set of 3.70 gears tha thowled during coasting. The drive side was no noise. Itook it apart and could not get a pattern to save my life. Gary (gtr1999) and I talked about this and he said the gears are shot. I finally got all the gears and shims I needed and went to work. I think I finally got a good pattern on both the drive and coast side. The pictures are from 2 different spots on the ring gear.

I've worked at the axle plant in Buffalo Ny and have read gear patterns for awhile. You've got a good pattern (center favoring toe on the drive side and pretty much center/center on the coast) going for you. It's what I'd be looking for in a well built, quiet rear end. Good job!

I don't know why. They are hosted by Village photo. Some can see them others can't. I have used them on many other pictures and never had a problem. They are coming up fine for me. If you really want to see them I can email them.

They look fine to me.
This is one thing I should really do on my car. Pretty far down on the list though.
What's the yellow marking compound??
