Hi everyone. I'm about to swap over the complete rear end from my 96 GT to a low mileage 5.0 unit I managed to get my hands on and I've just got a couple of questions before I start. Firstly, in my workshop manual, it mentions marking the drive shaft and diff flange to ensure they retain 'dynamic balance'. How can I make sure they're balanced when i'm fitting a new axle? Second, the axle is from an auto. I assume the backlash is the same as a 5 speed? Thanks Chris
It's possible to change the DS every 90* at the pinion. I numbered my pinion 1,2,3,4 and put a single mark on the DS flange. That way I didn't forget where I started.
