Calling all Ford 9" gurus!
Hey yall...
My new to me XJ came with a fancy 9" with disc brakes... Not sure what its out of (back in the hotrodding fox body days we'd look for them under Versailles) might have disc conversion kit. Havent torn her down yet.
2 questions here-
First is silly... But isnt this pinion guard upside down? Kinda defeats the protection purpose ya? One of the seals are seeping there anyhow so I plan to flip it if im not losing it... Been years since ive touched a 9" .. Dont be gross
Secondly- im getting a bump in the rear when letting go of throttle and when applying, hit or miss when putting it in gear. For some reason I just assumed tranny kickdown and dismissed it...or wrote it off as normal behavior for a locked rear end- But its definitely in the rear and needs more attention. Is this just a backlash adjustment? When i try to shake the drive shaft its solid- so Ujoints should be good. I Dont want to eat up what ever carrier is back there tho cuz she is locked and id guess 4.56s or so
