No Fear Gears

The key to a proper rearend setup is to establish the correct pattern. This comes from following the factory specs. Backlash is the amount of clearance between the ring-and-pinion teeth. By placing a dial indicator on a ring-gear tooth and rocking the ring gear back and fourth, this rearend showed an acceptable amount of backlash between 0.005 and 0.009 inch. Pinion depth is determined according to the thickness of the pinion shim installed between the pinion gear and the bearing. A proper pinion depth setting is noticeable once the marking compound is applied. Increasing the thickness of the pinion shim places the pinion gear closer (deeper) to the ring gear.
