G'Day,
I'm currently rebuilding my front differential with new bearings and have now put everything back together for the first time.
Quit the effort. I now get why shops usually put this off or charge four digit prices just for the labour...
Either way: Backlash and preload are perfectly within spec and the tooth contact pattern is as follows.
To me and to what I've found on the internet the drive side looks spot on for the used gear set and reused pinion bearing shim.
However, the coast side looks rather off and towards the toe. Is there anything I can do? Do I need to do anything?
I'd probably put it back together, but since this is my first diff: What do you guys think?
Cheers for the input,
Mark
