So I had to get a different Stub shaft and cut it down to get it to work. once i did that i decided to just do a complete tear down and check over everything.
Backlash is at a minimum now and its really nice. there was definitely a backlash issue from the first time i rebuilt it.
New stubs hold like a champ.
Oddly enough the diff doesnt seem to lock and i now have a christmas tree in my dash. Heard it might be a speed sensor issue so i replaced them as well.
Going to grab an obd2 reader and see whats going on.
The build continues
