So due to the outrageously priced new OEM rear diffs, after tarnishing my pinion bearing (which led to the teeth on the pinion get all torn up) I chose to rebuild the rear end myself with a full kit that includes bearings, seals, and a new ring and pinion gear. I dissasembled the rear diff today while I wait for new kit, and I removed all bearings, seals, and both gear. I noticed one shim for pinion, and then for the ring gear I either lost one or it only had one and not two (one on each side). This left me with a few questions in my mind. Would a kit typically come with new shims or would i have to buy a kit full of different shims to try and set it up right? will the old shims work with a new ring gear? if i can buy these shims where can I purchase them? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
