Section 05-00: Axle and Driveshaft—Service | 1994 Mustang Workshop Manual |
Two separate adjustments affect pinion and ring gear tooth contact. They are pinion location and backlash.
Individual differences in matching the differential case (4204)
and the pinion bearings require the use of shims to locate the
pinion for correct contact with the ring gear. Refer to Section 05-02A
(7.5-inch) or Section 05-02B (8.8-inch) for shim selection procedures.
