[QUOTE="SteveWK, post: 15898701, member: 139323"] Thanks for the info guys. I should have investigated this sooner as the car goes into the shop tomorrow. I think 125 is lite too, or at least from what I have read online. I've watched lots of youtube videos on this install and it takes gobs of torque to crush that crush sleeve. I'm thinking torque required to turn the nut + 200, measure preload, rinse and repeat as necessary. I don't think the brand of spacer would make much difference unless they use different metals that compress differently. I just hope the shop will do what I say. Speaking of which, I did ask them to measure pre-gear install backlash and pinion preload. My 3.31s whine some, and I have never launched the car or even know how to use launch control. The rear also clunks on and off throttle. It didn't do that when it was new. [/QUOTE]
