Alignment is done by shimming the trailing arms at the pivot points and adjusting the strut rods. There is a left and a right however and they won't fit if you get them switched. :D

Re: rear end side yokes (derv3tt3)
I'd have to look through my books to try to find it for sure (maybe someone can confirm or refute it), but I thought, for assembly, they were supposed to be inserted into the diff at 90 degrees to each other (I don't know why that would matter, but I thought I read it).
I hope there's no LEFT or RIGHT, because I didn't see any on mine :eek:

Okay, I was confused. Thought you were taliking about the spindle supports. Can't imagine there being a left and right at the differential. :rolleyes:

Re: rear end side yokes (derv3tt3)
The dealer couldn't get mine out. I dropped off the diff to get the seals replaced. It took him almost a week to just get the new seals.. Another week it sat and yesterday I asked if it was done. He said they started working on it, removed the c clip and the yoke would not slide out.. couldn't understand why.. said I would most likely need new yokes.. i trust this place with my K2500 diesel Suburban and they've been real honest with me so when he told me the new yokes would be around $230 a piece I drove over, boxed up the diff and sent it to Bairs to be rebuilt.. Bairs charges $99 for his yokes so for a couple hundred more I'm getting it totally rebuilt at Bairs.. And a couple hundred more I'm getting the 3:55 gears too.. :cheers:

Re: rear end side yokes (Koz)
I'm suprised they had a problem removing them. They assemle with a slip fit spline & are always cated with oil to keep them from rusting :confused: .
Have fun with the new gears :D .

Re: rear end side yokes (SmokedTires)
If you get a set of them that have been in there a bit ,you will have fun getting them out . After the axles and center pin get done beating each other to death the axle ends take a bit of a beating . Pretty common occurence really .

Re: rear end side yokes (ram82fire)
:iagree: They are a slip fit - and the center pin usually puts a little bit
of mushroom on the inside end. They come out with a little force.
Koz: Sending the unit off sounds like a better deal for you. :yesnod:
No alignment needed for yokes.
No left/right for yokes.
... and the differnet types ARE interchangable, but may require different
Ujoints and caps/straps/bolts.
