Looking at the pic, I'd say too much toe contact, and that you need to adjust your backlash. But, it is a pretty blurry pic too .. and I'm no gear guru by far.

yea there is alot of contact on the toe but the contact dosent run off the edge whatsoerver

thanks

any other comments?

I still think it's a little low on the toe and maybe too close to the face too. It's just hard to see it clearly enough.

But, if I'm seeing what I think I am.. it should be a little more like this:

Oh, and pardon my crummy freehand, it's not much better.

Told ya not to re-use that crush sleeve...........

 

[readymix]

They only cost about $5 at pep-boys or napa. Even come in a set of 2.

Why would you reuse it??

ive got 2 new ones that came with the kit, and we couldent get it to crush. i showed it to my auto tech teacher and he said, you can get away with using the old one thats already crushed aslong as you still get a good amount of preload on the bearing.

he has like 30 years of experience and he said thats how he has always done his so i decided to trust him
