Rear Axle Rebuild
Today I assembled my rear axle rebuild with no gasket sealer using the following gaskets: Passenger Side - (1) 0.006, (1) 0.005. The drivers side - (1) 0.006, 0.005 and (1) 0.003. These are the gaskets that I found gave a good preload with the empty carrier. Please give your opinion on the backlash. When I grap the drive shaft you definitely hear a clicking sound. I found a sharp corner reference on the outer locking nut at the pinion and this reference is moving back and fourth 1/32 of an inch. Is this enough backlash? Everything seems to rotate smoothly and quietly. Thanks for all your help. Ed

Re: Rear Axle Rebuild
1/32" is very near .030". That is about .010" too much. I always used a dial indicator with an extension through the fill hole on the center section on the later banjo rear axles to measure off of the ring gear teeth. I tried to find where to check on the model A but have not found the specific information yet. If done off the drive shaft then at what location from the center of the shaft?
