Pinion gear is set too low. Increase pinion gear height, Pinion gear is set too high. Decrease pinion height by SIDE GEAR CLEARANCE When measuring side gear clearance, check each 1. Install axle shafts and C-locks and pinion mate shaft. 2. Measure each side gear clearance. Insert a matched pair of feeler gauge (1) blades between 3. If side gear clearances is no more than 0.005 inch. Determine if the axle shaft is contacting the pinion 4. If clearance is more than 0.005 inch (axle shaft not contacting mate shaft), record the side gear clearance. Remove the thrust washer and measure its thickness with a micrometer. Add the washer thickness to the HB REAR AXLE - 8 1/4 3 - 83 |
