It's got maybe 50-100 miles on it since then. LOL.
After I built the torque arm I drove it and it seemed strange. Seemed to chatter the inside tire in a tight turn. So after new front Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Center Link, and the alignment today I thought I'd pop the diff out and take a look.

They don't warrenty axles until they are 33 spline or larger.
Food for thought if you'd building a 9".
The guy on the phone said it happens frequently and people don't even know about it. It's not a gradual thing. He says run it and if it brakes, go 33 Splines.
He did say nice choice on the True Trac though. Unfortunately they don't make one larger than 31 spline.
