[QUOTE="Land Yacht, post: 397051, member: 739"] We totally rebuilt a set of steering Rockwells with Overson 2" shafts and stud gutturals for our new buggy and learned that all of the gears within the chunk must be shimmed within factory tolerances. which are 6 to 10 thousandths, when they were assembled new at the factory, however with a used set of axles its best to take in consideration of the wear on the gears. This is what we have done after much research and have set our backlash and bearing shims within 5-6 thousandths and if you addressed the proper fitment you will in turn have a quality built axle that produces little to any noise. Most of all our information came from Boyce equipment's 2-1/2 ton rockwell rebuild manual as well as Overson engineering's Rockwell rebuild manual. Together both books provided a greater knowledge of how to disassemble an rebuild these unique axles, even so what to look for as wearing patterns on gears and bearings and how to treat issues such as your noise and chattering problems. thumb.gif booyang [/QUOTE]
