My Ford 8.8 Rear in my 1995 F150 is pretty worn out. I was planning on replacing just the clutch packs but when I removed the cover I could see that there is some play in the spider gears.
So now I am planning on replacing the whole carrier. I can buy a complete new Ford Performance carrier from Summit for $250.
I am a newb when it comes to setting up rear axles. My question is if I replace the carrier, will I have to reset any of the ring or pinion settings? Or can I just measure the shims that are currently in place and put new ones in the same way with the new carrier?
Also I assume I should/will have to replace the carrier bearings?
Thanks in advance. I have taken rear axles apart and reassembled on the same order but I've never set one up or build one from scratch.
