notched yoke thread and nut, of course
Just installed front drive shaft but now noticed that there's appreciable in/out play of pinion yoke (1/8" to 1/16" ish) into diff housing.
When I originally reinstalled the pinion nut it got very tight, the torque wrench passed 160lbs. but didn't click so I went a hair more past the marks I made and stopped. I'm sure one more complete revolution of the nut would not have been good... Been driving maybe 300 miles w/o fds if that matters.
Is this in and out yoke play into the pumpkin normal, did this with all wheels on ground in park and 2wd. I'm 99.9999 sure I counted threads correctly (barely one thread ahowing originally).
Thanks,
