Anyways, for those of you who installed a Quaife without any other mods, did you need to shim the diff?

Some websites say you don't really need to shim a quaife, others say it's 100% necessary, and I spoke to a forum vendor and he said you don't really need to shim it unless you change the ratio out...

That being said... Did you or your installer need to shim it?
Also, if they did or you recommend me buying the shims, do I have to buy all of them and just get stuck with the rest, or can you return them? Lastly, anyone got a few shims?


Thanks in advance
Yep;put mine in today;used original shims w/new side bearings & came out perfect!
Tight backlash,around .004" and turns easy...
I got a question? mine is an A/T & i noticed that the stub shaft opposite the ring gear,pushed in & locked easier that the other side....note/on an A/T they are the same.
On the bench when you grab each stub shaft....very snug to work gears in ATB,,,but smooth.
other than that...basically a plug & play.
