Is this the one that bolts to the differential, has a flat bar coming off of it and you hold the dial indicator on that flat bar??

I suppose you could use a dial indicator and keep adding shimms until the proper backlash is obtained.....?

Remember shimming pinion gear changed backlash and pattern but ring gear only change backlash...
