Default Re: Diff assembly coming soon

Just adding a follow up to complete this thread. I would caution anyone trying to use trial or setup bearings to get a guess on how many shims would be needed under the carrier bearings. I spent quite a bit of time determining this all by using setup bearings. When I went ahead and put in the final new bearings I ended up removing 4 shims, which was a real pain. Both old and new bearings were timken so you would have thoughts would get similar results and be close. Definitely assume the new bearings will use less shims to lockup the carrier.
