Gear Pattern Check
- Thread starter DE04TJ

Your pinion head shows slightly shallow (inverse of ring gear), and your ring gear I would say is slightly deep. My guess is you are good to go. What gears are these?
Unfortunately they're yukon or whatever they decided to put in the box that day… Leave it is as?
Ok cleaned everything up and made sure everything was seated. Backlash is 8 thou. the pinion is at 26 thou, I can take out 2 thou if needed
The difference between your drive and coast side patterns is enough that I would want to make a decent size change to see where things are. I would take 5 thou out just to see what is going on. It'll move the patterns enough to give me an idea.
Yours is one of these axles that is like to have my hands on to see what's going on with it.

Ok, so what I'm seeing is that you can get a decent pattern on one side or the other (Yukon quality nowadays). Focus on the drive side. Add 3 thou and let's see it. You will probably be as good as it can get. If you can do 2 thou try that.
Yeah this seems to be a regular occurrence with Yukon nowadays. Mike is correct, focus as best you can on the drive side.
That is about as good as you are going to get right there.
Ill keep the tow truck company on speed dial
