Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Hi Peter,
I never have, but then I've heard of many that have loosened. If
you have pinion bearing play the the yoke you have is not sliding up
hard against the bearing like the previous one did, as the crush sleeve
separating the bearings is naturally in-between them. Have you hit it
with an impact, and walked it on down? being careful in feeling with the
other hand for when it begins to snug up.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Hmm. I think I'll remove the nut and use some blue Loc-Tite then.
All I did on the weekend was install the yoke and tighten the nut to 160
lbs-ft. Just now I removed the drive shaft again and turned the pinion with
my lbs-in torque wrench set to 30 with no clicks, so it needs to be tighter.
I think there's even a bit of play in it, but its hard to tell what's lash
and what play. Unfortunately now I have to wait for a helper with stronger
legs than my six-year-old - he can't push on the brake pedal hard enough to
stop the wheels from spinning when I turn the pinion nut.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
When you remove the nut make sure it hasn't bottomed out as the
yoke should have easily slid up to where the old one was up against the
bearing to crush sleeve. That would be thirty inch pounds without axles,
for pinion test.
