Quaife differential install question

Im having one installed right now. The guy who's doing it has done a number of 370s and it's pure luck of the draw whether you have to adjust anything.

Cheapest way to have a pro do it is drop the differential yourself then bring it in along with the quaife. Good luck

Just recently did this myself and the oem shims gave me backlash within the spec (.0039 -.0059) HOWEVER the preload was not within spec (7.7 lbs - 8.8 lbs) mine was about 3lbs. I had to get shims that were 5mm more for both sides to bring everything within spec.
