Folks,
I've got a 71 dodge monaco. Purely a street car. Or should I say...street boat. haha Anyway, I recently went from an open 2.71 to suregrip clutch style 3.23. I'm having trouble adjusting the endplay. The thrust button is in the diff, but the endplate adjuster no longer threads worth a darn. Randy's ring and pinion now sells the adjuster plate for $115. For about the same price I can get green bearings. I've been told the green bearings are not good for street applications as they don't like much side load during cornering.
So I'm wondering what you folks think? Spend the money on the adjuster plate or green bearings?
Thanks in advance
David
not sure about the clutch type, but are you missing the pin that goes between the axles? or are you using a pre-65 housing that uses different length axles. Both will cause excessive end play

Me too, A body 8&3/4/stock axles/open pig. there's about .100" of end play I cannot get rid of w the adjuster  . Bought a sure grip from Wood Dog in California (it came today  ) & see if that takes care of it
