Do you mean re-shim?...... If so you can do that to any axle

 :hysterical: JBI as far as I know 1st of April was yesterday  :hysterical:

WhoTF led you to believe that I have such black art capabilities.

I got kicked out of the WTFIAS club some time ago but such assumptions would get me hung, drawn & quartered on the spot, I tell ya  :003:

if you have a clunk on take up of drive you need a rebuild on the axle there is no secondary adjustment

it is all as you say adjusted when built

sorry

Have a look on Randys ring & pinion for the parts, might I suggest a detroit true track LSD while your at it & have a word with Bubba (Kev) about rebuilding it. You wont find better or cheaper

How much roughly gaz? Might be a next year job as I want to move out this summer. Didn't some XJ's come with LSD's when new? Mines not got one as it spins the inside wheel when, ahem, enthusiastic cornering  :icon_super:

if I was you and I aint  I would get a full rebuild kit  and as for the lsd I personally think they are landfill due to the problems they can bring instead of buying replacement clutch pacs I would fit a lunch box locker and use your existing carrier 

and all being well your ring and pinion are ok to re use
