Put an ARP stud set in it.
The preload shims went from .020ish to .053 timken vs koyo

Looks like the bolts that hold the Sure Grip together were not long enough, hence the reason it gernaded.....

I had it first setup with the shim that was in the last carrier.. but honestly that setup wasn't quiet.. I had even taken it back to the shop that did it for a 2nd go cause they didn't get it right the 1st time...or the second.. or the 3rd or 4th when they changed out the limited slip.

So after mocking it up with their shim.. .092.. the pattern looked toed. Nice.. but toed . Now there's a performance setup and there's a street setup the performance will be towards the toe a little more but this was just a little excessive on the coast side and it already had made noise on Coast a little bit and deceleration. So I centered it more and didn't really focus on whether it was super football or not, just that it wasn't cutting towards the root or cutting towards the top (backlash).

Honestly this thing is very very quiet. I don't hear it on the freeway anymore. Its quiet.. used gears setup diff.. and they're quiet.
