Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Be sure and tell them you switched yokes, I believe that's your
problem, because it should slid right in against the bearing like the
old one.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
If the yokes differed in the thickness of the splined part, how would that
affect things? Would using a new crush sleeve solve such a problme?
The pinion nut only turned 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn when going from 160 to 250+
ft-lbs, I don't know if that is significant.
