Re: rattle in front axle

When ever you replace pinion bearings or carrier bearings you have the potential to change the gear patterns, .015 change can cause catastrophic failure of the ring and pinion gears due to improper loading of the gears at the wrong points. Bearings and races can vary up to .01 from run lot to run lot.
