[Healeys] How much play in the differential

[Michael Salter]

Not quite sure what you are describing but presuming that there is no
relational free play in the U joints there is usually 5 - 10 degrees of
backlash in the diff.
The"correct" backlash measurement for a particular gear set is etched on the
crown wheel but I've known of those hypoid sets to run perfectly and quietly
with massive amounts of backlash so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

When turning the BJ8 drive shaft from side-to-side (with new universal
joints) how much play should one find in the rotation?
