[QUOTE="19COBRA93, post: 13980602, member: 10462"] Interesting suggestion. I've never checked preload before taking one apart, but I've never found one to "feel" different than what I would consider normal. I've corrected some sloppy gear jobs that were done by other shops, and I've found some loose pinion nuts from time to time. Those are a quick catch, but I've never suspected the crush sleeve collapsing even more on a launch. I can see that as a possibility though. A couple years ago Ford redesigned the crush sleeve to a thicker/more robust design which uses a bigger pinion nut. Maybe they were finding the old design was collapsing under extreme load. Regardless, that doesn't explain why foxes and SN's were so easy to set up, and S197 aren't. Maybe it's a combination of things. [/QUOTE]
