I can see that the wear pattern on the teeth of the ring go from the inner most edge to the outer most edge. Is this normal? I do not know how many passes are on the it. I got it from the guy that sold me the Aspen. I checked and the lash is .005. Raul

If the pattern is pretty much centered on that side, that's good. Backlash @ .005" is good also. Fastest 300

It starts about 1/4" from the innermost part of the gear and goes all the way to the outer edge. I also looked at the 3rd member that was in the car when I bought it. I took it out because it has 7 teeth that are broken off at the outside edge of the gear. The lash on that one is .009. The drive pattern on that one goes across the whole tooth. Were these set up wrong, or do I have another problem in the rear end? Raul

Raul pics would help, but if the pattern is running off the heel (outer portion of the gear ) on the drive side ( convex ), and starts 1/4" in on the toe side, you need a thicker spacer. It's not that far off though. Maybe add a .015"spacer. .009" is a little out of spec on the loose side, but only a couple thou. Assume it is a 8 3/4? Fastest 300

Raul Many times that once a gear is worn in and you try to re-set it it will howl.. they just dont like to be re-set with worn parts.. but if its close it shouldnt make much difference

I bring them a box form my daughters Cakery when I have to stop over there. Last edited by Crizila; 07/28/14 02:16 PM. Fastest 300
