metric axle shims?

[shawnfj40]

Hmmm, very well could be the older gearing, the truck was a 63 originally and I thought I put in a 72 rear...but it may have been a 68. I'll be heading back over shortly. I had a lockright in front and noslip in back so I think I must have upgraded to fine spline axles at least. At this point, I'm hoping I didn't screw them up at the shop because I told them all these axles should be the same -- and was not corrected. So point taken on the shop.

It sounds like your original post was a bit off the mark. It sounds like the shop was given the wrong gear for your setup and the wait is while they get the right ARB for your axle? Good luck and hopefully they will get you back on the road soon. Remember you can always just match your gear ratio with a new R&P that matches your current ARB. Thats just one option for you.

I would go collect my legos and find a competent shop to complete the ARB installs into the Land Cruiser center sections, before you have to pay for this service more than once to get it completed properly.

There can be pinion bearing depth shims and pinion bearing pre-load shims.

There are not any backlash or carrier bearing shims in these differentials.

Steve is on the ball here.

I will add the last five land cruiser diffs I built have had carrier shims. Guess I should also mention they were all factory cable and elocker diffs though. Open diffs always have the side adjusters.
