Looks okay to me. However I don't know if trusting me is the smart way to go, I don't have a lot of exsperiance setting them up.

 

i took out .002" on the pinion shim and the pattern was more towards the heel this time so i went with it, put the solid pinion spacer in with 2 thick shims, torqued it down, the bearings were preloaded a little bit too much so i added another thick shim and did it again, the pinion moved alot more freely this time with no loosness and no binding so i went with it and dropped in the carrier in , set the bearing preload and then set the backlash to .008" , so at any rate its in the housing and the birfs are in. gotta finish the knuckles , hubs and the brakes, then on to the highsteer arms and the power steering pump.
