Diff backlash and shims question.
Spec is 0.10mm-0.15mm. I'm at 0.28-0.30mm. Stock side shims are 2.15mm and 2.45mm. They're about $40 a set. Would like some advice on what sizes are likely to get me into spec, so I don't have to buy more than 1 pair. I'm leaning toward 2.05mm and 2.55mm.

It is opposite of the ring. But I did mean pinion. I pictured it wrong; it's on the side closest to the pinion. The odd thing is that backlash was excessive when I broke it down the first time. Wasn't this far out though.

So this is how much play there is in the shaft after all said and done. Does it seem excessive?

I've got a few unused shims available from when I did a FD build; 3 pinion shims: 3.20, 3.24, 3.25 and a side adjust shim that is 2.55 (all from Nissan). *wish I could help with more side adjust shims.

Thanks. It doesn't matter for now. I have 3 other vehicles to deal with. I'll get the pinion bearing replaced at some point, so I'll worry about it then. Just wanted to get this thing out on the road after letting it sit for a year.
