Got my two TR3 stub axles back from the rebuilder yesterday. Hubs pressed off, new bearings and seals installed - woohoo!
Now I am setting the end float and I have .005 on each side (right on spec. But to achieve this, one side has .050" of shims and the other side has .060" of shims. The "book" speaks of equalizing the shim thickness on each side. Is .010 too much of a difference? I am afraid that if I equalize the shim thickness on each side then my end float will go out of spec. Or does everything kind of float inside there as one big assembly?
