93 Cobra needs input · 07-25-2002, 08:30 PM

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go Moser 31 spline axles, eaton posi, it seems to me alot of people have been having good luck with that unit. All new bearings, a T/A cover and studs for the caps. I have 3.73 gears I think I might step up to 4.10 as long as it's all apart. I'm a pretty good mechanic but the whole carrier bearing shim preloading gear lash measuring thing is hard to get perfect haven't quit figured out all the cool ways to line up the dial indicater and make perfect preload measurements. I got real lucky with my motorsport gear set used the same carrier shims and pinion shim, no noise no proplems. Still learning!
