When I grab my front pinion yoke and rotate it left and right, I can go a full 1/4 of a turn or so before it stops. In other words, I have about a quarter turn of play when I rotate the pinion yoke left and right.
I compared it to my rear 8.25" which feels very tight. Very little play at all.
Now, is it normal for a HP30 to feel as if it has more play in the yoke? If not, what could be wrong? I am hoping to pull the cover to check it out this weekend but dont entirely know what to look for. I dont have a dial indicator, but have some crappy prussian blue lying around so I could check the pattern.
Both HP30 and 8.25 have 4.88 gears. Roughly 3000 miles on them since install. I followed proper break in instructions. Few wheeling trips.
