Since the ring gear needed to be moved away from the pinion by a minimum of 0.001, the shims were adjusted to 0.238 on the left side and 0.234 on the right side, and the dial indicator was used to take new measurements. This time the measurements came in at 0.0075, 0.007, and 0.007, or an average of 0.0072, which is right smack in the middle of the specification. According to Bailey, "It isn't uncommon to pull the differential 3-4 times in order to get the backlash correct. Since the proper backlash is a crucial factor in determining whether a ring gear will operate quietly and perform to expectations, it has to be right on." View Related Article
