[QUOTE="DD2013 5.0, post: 13505141, member: 153900"] Nosympathy: I've got nothing! Lol the proof is in the pudding!;) Any ways I'm trying to get solid info as to if being lowered with the said parts can cause rear end internal damage? The rear is 1.5in lower than stock. I've know this to put strain on the cv and u joints on the ds but not effect the internals. But if a pinion seal is being effected and is starting to leak because of the "off" pinion angle then yes the pinion shaft is moving. If the pinion is moving then the mesh of the ring and pinion jacked up. Which can cause uneven ware and excessive back lash? With this being said ford did replace the pinion seal under warranty a few weeks back. I know if the pinion nut isn't tightened correctly the bearing pre load will be effected. My sheet from ford says the only parts used were a new pinion seal and 2 qrts of gear oil. No additive, pinion nut, or crush sleeve? Has anyone had there rear ends worked on under warrenty with suspension mods? A 1 pcs ds, adj upper ca and mount are going in Thursday [/QUOTE]
