Default 4.10s weird problems in the dumb 10 bolt

We installed them correctly; however we must not have. But I went by the book on everything, i thought the diff was tight enough but turns out it whines when turning right, so im ripping it all apart and gunna try to squeeze more shims in the right side I think they say to do since it whines when turning right.

Also.. I was out there spinning the passenger side axle by hand back and forth and its almost like it was slipping in the diff occasionally. WEIRD, I used slip additives and the whole 9 yars. We checked the pinion depth (correct) the preload is correct, and the wear pattern was PERFECT... me FTML

K welp we were able to squeeze 2 more shims in on the right side of the diff, small ones but did the trick.. It was tight to get in. No more noise like there was before.. Good to go. I still dont this little rear though lol
