[QUOTE="SnakeBitten07, post: 16549525, member: 167815"] You shouldn’t, proper installs DO yield quiet gears. I’ve done about ten installs on Fox, SN95, and S197 8.8 axels with various ratios and diffs and none of them whined. I did follow the service manuals to a “T” using the proper tools. Only a couple of those cars where on OEM suspensions, and the ones there weren’t had a touch of sound come through the cabin, but it was very tolerable. I have helped a couple of buddies with whining S197 axles and in both cases (they had local shops install the gears), the shop forgot to install the final preload shims after backlash and pattern were set. I think it’s well understood that leaving these shims out will result in whine, especially over time. [/QUOTE]
