Carrier bearing preload is independent of pinion bearing preload...and when you re-shim the carrier to set backlash you use the same overall width of shims, just move from one side to the other. This results in equivalent pre-load even after re-shimming. A Ford 9" is easier, you just have a threaded pre-load adjuster on either side, set pre-load by torquing them against one another, then turn them at the same rate to adjust pinion backlash.

I think my bearings on my wheels are to tight.
BTW I think feet are better

Cellularmitosis's differential bearing pre-load videos kick butt! :)
I've posted links to them ever' time the subject comes up on website forums. LOL :)
Cellularmitosis shows us in seconds what books could never explain worth anything.
Thanks Cell! :)

I suppouse it is without the axle shafts.
However,how can you measure the carrier preload before to install the pinion?
The things are going to change once you mount it and set up the backlash and gear pattern so this test wouldn,t worth it...

How many turns would you recommend for it to turn with standard preload?
