Re: Looking at used rear end

Don't forget to check the pinon shaft for play, forward & aft, up & down. Take a ruler or calipers check the bolt pattern on the axles. And check the axle flanges to see if the axle is bent. Check the yoke for damage and if it is the treaded clamp style check the threads. If you can bring a long straight edge to check the housing for straightnesss.
