Time to shim my diffs??

[Domination]

Well i have bout lil over 2 gallons through these diffs I've cleaned and greased them once already but not sure if theyre in need of shims. How exactly do you tell they need shims?What a good shim kit? and you guys have any instruction on doing so?

with the RRP steel diff gears it says after a gallon u need to shim and grease it. most of the time there will be a little shimmy in ur diff, side to side action going on.

When checking your diffs then, you want ZERO side to side action?

pretty much, cuz that can cause the gears not to mesh right, so wearing of the gears/ chipping. u add the shims to the inside of the output shafts.
