Question for all of those out there that have successfully rebuilt your 8.8 rear end... I believe I already know the answer to my question, I will need to re-shim the pinion gear to bring it closer. However, in case I might be wrong - The two pictures are of drive and coast marks on a set of FRPP 4.10 gears with backlash set at .010 and pinion depth set matching original gears. Did not have access to pinion depth gauge and I'm doing this all in my garage. Do these patterns fall within the acceptable range by anyone with much experience building rear ends... or am I correct in assuming I need to re-shim. Thanks for your input!
