Re: Rear end troubles
Thanks, it will, but they are on national backorder. If there's no realistic chance of it locking up I'll drive it till it dies. I don't know if they go from howling to breaking or just howl louder or what eventually happens... anyone?

- Check backlash with micrometer - Change shims left and right to correct (watch your fingers dropping it in!) - Fill with fluid But if you've done it with the micrometer, do you still need to do the contact pattern paint thing? It sounds like plastigauging after you've mic'd a journal. [Later Edit: As so kindly pointed out below, while a depth micrometer can be used, a dial indicator is much easier though less accurate. The normal way is indeed a dial indicator on a magnetic base but I'd then use the contact pattern paint to be sure.]
