Differential install help. Hey,
I got two parts (Eaton differential carrier case and richmond 3.23 ring and pinion both series 3.)
part #'s
836-49-0044-1GM 7.5" 10-BOLT 3.23
362-19599-010GM 10B 28T 87-01 3.23 UP
I have done this quite a few times and for some reason after changing to the different ring and pinion + carrier case it doesn't seem right. If I accelerate fastly the wheels will start to hop and if I make a hard turn I feel a vibration. The backlash and everything is set properly as well as the angles and so forth. The only thing that I notice is where the driveshaft connects to the back of the pinion it has a little play, you can twist it? It moves a little to the left before turning the pinion as well as a little to the right before turning. I would think this is normal. Can anyone help? Does anyone know where I could find a good site with a step-by-step instruction on this with pictures? I looked in the sticky forums and couldn't come up with anything. Thanks guys.
