[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16420036, member: 184279"] I honestly don't see how it could be either of those, but it's always wise to keep an open mind. :) When looking at something like this, I like to utilize the old "Occam's Razor" principle[i], [/i]which is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is most often correct. Since the problem began after the new gears were installed, then I suspect something was re-assembled incorrectly. This is why I would remove one piece at a time and see when the wheel starts rotating freely. Once you locate the 'trouble' piece, then it should be easy fix. As you note, this 8.8 assembly has been around for a long time, it's not a freakin' Indy car for Gawd's sake, LOL! :p I bought my current 'toy' (2010 Roush Mustang) from a forum member here (a great guy). Like any new owner, I checked the car out thoroughly and found a few minor issues. One of those issues was the left rear brakes, which had somehow been re-installed (after rear end work) incorrectly, such that the brake pad was cockeyed. I wish I'd paid more attention to the exact problem, but I installed new pads, made sure the piston was aligned properly, and put it back together. It's been perfect ever since. It's odd that this would happen to left rear on my car AND on your car???????????? Please keep us posted...... Dave F. [/QUOTE]
