[QUOTE="Real98roush, post: 16106103, member: 154990"] Left the pinion as-is, but tightened up the backlash based on advise from Dan’s Driveline, a local shop. I originally reused the cast shims from the factory. They advised me to used the shim pack that came with the installation kit. Backlash with the cast shims was 0.020. Ford spec calls for 0.008-0.012. Measured the cast shims, put together a cluster of similar thickness for each side, then took a shim from one side and put it on the ring gear side. Checked backlash and it was still loose. Swapped around shims probably 5x before I found a combination that had a backlash of 0.010. Such a tedious process. [ATTACH=full]1545194[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1545195[/ATTACH] I’m not totally sure if the new pattern is ideal, but I’m going to roll with it. Installed the axles, filled with gear oil, and installed the girdle. Ready to go back into the car. [ATTACH=full]1545196[/ATTACH] IG: @sn95mystic SVTP: SN95 Rollercoaster [/QUOTE]
