I know this is completely irrelevant, but Dana 44 uses shims between the carrier and the bearings to set backlash and preload (similar to the exploded diagram a page or two back). I don't understand their use if the carrier has adjusters...
They are a real PITA to set up. Have to ream out the old bearings to use as setup bearings and trial and error til backlash and pattern got right.. I'll farm that job out next time...
