Is the rear hub torque of 80-90 a Ford spec, or just a thought? There was no problem with the pre-rebuild rear end, except for a slight leak. That was eliminated when I retrued the left rear axle flange. Rear end ran quietly for about 400 miles.
Growl seems to dissipate when accelerating, but comes back with a vengenace when decelerating.
I blued the ring gear/pinion gear teeth on the rebuild. There is a picture of the wear pattern in the article to which I referred.
