Is it a remedy for excessive ring gear run out (0.005 [measured 70,000 miles ago] when the specified max. is 0.0028) by replacing original side bearings with 266,000 miles on them, but never abused in any way, with new bearings?

Thanks
Can you say what causes ring gear runout?
Is there any way to fix ring gear runout other than replacing the parts?

I would think ring gear runout is the part itself or the carrier it is mounted to? What are you doing, refreshing a high mileage diff?
If it all looks good and ran that long already without unusual wear, I don't think it's an issue worth buying expensive parts for. JMHO

Bad installation can cause it. I had a 7.5 IFS ring gear "bent" by a poor installer back in the 90's

Thanks, I have just emailed ZUK. And yes, I guess refresh is a good way of putting it.

ZUK says my backlash is very much normal and no reason for concern, so good news and good to go.
Thanks to all for the assist.

Glad it's ok and thanks for following up. Dead end threads suck.
