[QUOTE="quick01snake, post: 13493928, member: 2247"] Yes the relative difference in thickness of the shims on one side of the carrier vs the other do change the backlash. I was saying the even if you get your backlash set correctly, on an IRS pumpkin you have to spread the case and add more shims to get the side preload correct. Otherwise, yes, when it flexes under load the backlash can change and cause noise or in extreme cases failure. I didn't realize you had a solid axle, that would negate my point for your instance. It's one of those things that I feel there are probably a lot people not doing correctly, kind of like the whole squeaking throw out bearing deal, if you take a couple seconds to center the outer race of the TOB on the center if it, it won't start chirping after only a few thousand miles.
