I agree, if you wait until you hear it, its too late. It can be tedious, actually a royal PITA to lay under the monster checking the bearings, but, I think its worth it.

I took .0045" out of a center main and .0025" from the rear of one that did not make any noise. I like to set them at .0015" on all except the rear which I like a bit tighter.
