    8.8 Master Housing Dimension?

    There is another GOOD method for figuring out pinion shims and it is called the Master Housing Dimension. I found a write up on how to do it but it does not make sense to me?

    Trombonedemon: Most of the time one wheel spin refers to a burnout, when both should be spinning. Also during cornering the limited slip allows one wheel to spin slower but they both spin.

    Is the pinion moving fwd and aft or is it rotating? It should not move fwd and aft at all!!!! The crush collar is not even crushing until all fwd and aft movement has been eliminated.
