[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 5772225, member: 10042"] the backlash between the ring and pinion gears is set by how thick the shims are inside the differential housing itself. not something a person can do without a shim assortment, some gear marking compound, and a dial indicator. moving the ring gear closer to the pinion gear decreases backlash. the front of the driveshaft is a slip yoke that just fits in the end of the transmission. as long as your u-joints arent worn out (unlikely, but possible) there's nothing to do on that end. the diff bushings are at the front of the housing, and on the driver's side of the rear cover. where the differential housing mounts to the car in front, you'll find rubber bushings above and below the mounting ears. sometimes they melt away or otherwise loose their rubber-ness. :D the one in the back is harder to see since its inside a big metal bracket that bolts to the rear cover.
