*Want to protect your investment? The experts at Yukon Gear and Axle share how to properly break-in your Ring and Pinion gears.

UNDERSTANDING THICK RING GEARS & CARRIER BREAKS

A carrier break is the point where the numeric increase in gear ratio necessitates a new/different carrier be used. The act of increasing the numerical ratio of a gear set results in the diameter of the pinion gear becoming smaller. To maintain proper contact, the thickness of the ring gear must be increased. The point at which thickening is no longer viable is known as the Carrier Break, which necessitates the move to a larger carrier with a taller deck height. 

PROPERLY SETTING PRELOAD WITH SIDE ADJUSTERS
There are several types of rear ends that use a threaded side adjuster be it a single adjuster or one on both sides of carrier. The most commonly known rears with this type of carrier adjustment are the Chrysler 7.25-8.25-8.75-9.25, Ford 9”, GM 8.25” IFS, Suzuki Samurai, & Toyota. Click on the image to continue reading more.
