Hello, I have a 97 f150 4x4. The rear axles have .075 end play. It is out of spec. I'm ordering a clutch kit and new differential pinion gear kit. My question, does anybody know how to get the shiming correct for the clutches. How much is the min axle end play? Max is .030. Thanks for any input.

 

sounds like you need a master install kit.

most likely cause is the carrier bearings are worn out. i believe minimum is .005. don't quote me on that though.

Has the how to but may not have the specs.

 

Thanks for info. A lot of info on that site. I will do it that way and check endplay when done. Thanks again

 

You're welcome-that site made it possible for my son to do his first diff rebuild.
Good luck
