Title: 8 inch rear end rebuild question
Post by: rrenz on November 02, 2017, 07:31:59 PM
Would like to get some input on the final portion of my rebuild. I had to replace my 3:00 ring and pinion. I've replaced all bearings and have everything to spec. Installed the factory shim.  I've preloaded the differential bearings and installed a new crush sleeve. Backlash is set to 10 thousandths. This is the best pattern I've been able to come up with. First is of the drive side second is the coast. Being that this is my first attempt at this how does my pattern look? Thanks.
