i've been hearing a noise coming from the rear end for about a month now.decided to replace the axle bearings,seals,and clutch packs.when i pulled the passanger side axle,there were a couple of good sized scuffs where the axle rides on the bearings.i'll get a new axle tomorrow.i installed the bearings and seals already.my question is,how do i install the clutch packs.i done a search already.what i found was to install in this order. .035 shim,1 used friction disc,1 splined steel disc,1 new friction disc,1 splined steel,1 new friction disc, 1 splined steel,1 new friction disc,side gear.does that sound right?is it the same for both pass and driver side?

got the rear end togeather today.that s-spring was a b****.it's been a week since i last drove my car.had the tranny rebuilt,i installed the new axle bearings and seals along with the clutch packs.
<br>

used the ford racing kit--does not come with tailshaft bushing,if you use this kit,order a bushing at the same time.
<br>

in the civic,taking a trip to the shop.
<br>

bad axle shaft.
<br>

working on my car is something i enjoy,so i cant complain too much.for the spring,i used two needle nose vise grips to compress the spring,then used a small hammer to tap into place.
