    Default 9 inch ring and pinion pattern

    Hey do any guys feel like you could advise me on my ring pinion pattern on my 9 inch ford. I have the drive side good and the backlash set but the coast side pattern is right in the middle and very light. I can post pictures.
    Just trying to figure out what I need to do or if it is good to go. Thanks guys .

    Looks decent to me, maybe a touch low on the tooth. The most critical thing is that it is pretty well centered. It's when you have too much contact on either the heel or toe of the tooth you run into problems.
    I will show your pics to our differential guy at work tomorrow and get his thoughts.
    Get a couple of pics of the drive side if you can.

    Looks good.

    it's a ford, so you might as well not worry, they break down a lot, it's just natural to the manufacturer.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Yeah honestly it is in my mustang and the darn thing doesn't hardly get driven. Due idiots on the road I don't like the idea of wrecking it.

    It's been 30 years, but that looks good. Anyway to preload it with a torque wrench and get a pattern of it?
    Fords are shit so some say, but they are used in top Fuel racing all day long. Nodular iron but still the 9"

    Ring & pinion gears in rear differential, final part of the drive train, before the wheels.
