I had posted this in another thread, but decided to start a new one.
I used a Suregrip out of a Dakota instead of an older A-body. The obvious difference is the carrier bearing size, but the Dakota has about 1/8 inch more adjustment side to side than an abody. Here are some pics, to see where I clearanced the housing for more adjustment, also second pic showing the best pattern I can get and third pic is what the wear pattern LOOKED like when it was set up correctly. I have very little backlash, just a tic-toc, and it feels very minute.
After checking the Aubrun website, you DO have to clearance the housing the same place I did, but the Sg units have the same part number, so there's no reason why my SG won't work. BTW this pattern was achieved with the stock shim under the bearing cup and a .027 shim between the pinion gear and bearing. What do ya'll think? Any Ideas?
