Diff question, Anyone...
Hi Gary
Just replaced the bearings and seals in my diff.
Pinon drag set @ 16 lb/in
Pinion shim .027 (factory)
Back lash @ .009.
The first pic is the drive side
The second pic is of the coast side.
The pattern doesn't look right, What changes do you think I need to make.
Thanks in advance
Clyde

Are these new or used gears?
The lash is open if new gears and the drive pattern is deep. I can't see enough of the coast to say they look high. If used gears go for the best coast pattern you can get.

Scott,
I do use a slip fit to get me close then install the new one and sometimes still have to fine tune it. I also find the setup brg's only last me a couple of builds before they start to get sloppy.
