The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Move Pinion forward and back per Les Andrews

Dave in MN: We are rebuilding a rear end right now and have established a nice carrier bearing preload with a .010" gasket on each side of the banjo. But....there is a lot of pinion to ring gear back lash, maybe .070" or so, and no where to go on banjo gaskets. So tomorrow we are going to experiment with shimming the pinion and see what happens.
Thanks for the tip!!
