Backlash ranges from .006-.008" depending on where on the ring gear you measure. This is with a good mitutoyo indicator. The spec I have for a 10 bolt says .006-.010" is the allowable range.
Does it seem odd for the backlash to vary that much around the gear? Its almost like its not sitting flush on the carrier or something.
