Re: Pre load
As Tom says and he and I have done hundreds of rear axles it is very important you get this right. If the pinion isn’t right my guess is the carrier bearings and preload may also be in question. You can attempt this yourself with the correctly used tools to do the job. If you don’t have them and also the understanding anc knowledge of it I would suggest seeing if here is someone knowledgeable of them in your area with a local A club.
Disassemble the drivers side and remove the carrier anc axle assembly and inspect the bearings and races. Ensure the bearings aren’t spinning on the id of the bearings against the carrier. A common problem.
Your going to go faster with the overdrive so you must have everything in top notch order.
Read Les’s and Tom’s rear axle info and tackle or find someone who can assist with proper knowledge, tools, and assistance.
No it’s not brain surgery but it is all about process and proper at that .
