Hey y’all, I just got finished working on my Jeep today and I have a few questions. I’ve tried to get the gear marking right a few times and I can’t seem to get it right, I was real close but it was slightly too deep so I pulled a shim from behind the pinion race and put in one that was just a little thinner. Well I went to put it all back together no snags or anything. I DID over tighten the pinion but just a little and my preload was 30 (previously it was 20 in/lbs every time) but I figured it would be good enough just to see what my pattern would look like. I ran my pattern and on the drive side it was on the heel and the coast was on the toe (right before I did that shim adjustment they were perfectly in the middle just a little too deep).
My main question is what do I need to adjust to get it back twords the middle of the ring gear.
By the way this is a Dana 30, I’m installing 4.88 gears.
