Interesting... I think... I had her up on a lift this weekend and measured
about 1/8 of a turn (!) of backlash. Although concerned, I did take her out
yesterday for the local club's autocross. (Yes, I know... I don't push my luck
too much, do I?! ) Although my times weren't great, nothing broke (knock
wood!). I'm still planning on taking a closer look at that other diff this week.
Just In Case.
