No Fear Gears
We are now ready to install the complete carrier into the rearend housing. Carrier shims are placed between the carrier bearings and the rearend housing on both sides. These shims place a pre-load on the carrier and keep pressure against the bearings. The shim thickness on both sides also determines the amount of ring-gear backlash. Backlash is adjusted by changing the shim thickness side for side. To decrease backlash, increase the thickness on the left side while reducing the thickness an equal amount on the right side. To increase backlash, do the opposite. Once the carrier is in place, re-torque the main caps to 65 lb-ft. At this point the carrier should turn freely inside the rearend housing. View Related Article
