hen I turned the input It seemed perfect to me. While it was out anyway I de=
cided to have John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics take a look at it. When he t=
urned the input he told me that there was no preload at all. I had him=
rebuild the diff and I found out there was internal wear and a spun b=
earing. At that point the ring and pinion were still in good shape. &n=
bsp;John said he is having difficulty obtaining good replacement ring and pi=
nion sets. I think he told me that he sources good quality sets from T=
urkey , but the supply is spotty. <br id=3D"lineBreakAtBeginningOfSigna=
