Well I reshimed my pinion I have .011+ backlash, old shim .028 new shim .025
I kinda didn't like the pattern but I was fustrated and fig if it didn't go good I will pull out and redo it.
Because
(1) when I was putting my new axle bearings on they had a differant one in the box so I had to find another seller who had SKF bearing because I wanted to keep the same brand and napa was closed. (found at pep boys)
(2) carrier bearings are apc but the economy brand but thats all I could find
(3) I remember why I pulled my rearend out its a B$$tch doing it under the car.
but all is said and after test driving it, it sounds great I eliminated almost 80% of the noise you slightly hear around 55 mph but the road nosie is louder and you hear a little when slowing down from 30-20 mph but other then that its beautiful..
Thanks guys for all the help.
