Installing replacement (used) gears and diff in a Dana 44 . The previous gear set had been tampered with so I'm not convinced they were even a matched set at this point. I've read it's better to read the coast side of used gears, and that side looks a lot worse than the drive side right now.
Here's where I've landed after taking wide swings at it, and it's the best I've seen yet but pretty certain it's not quite acceptable yet.
Backlash is .009"
