I had some knock in my R200 LSD that was starting to annoy me.....it was hard to tell where the play was in the Diff so I ended up removing it from the car and pulling it apart. The backlash is wrong which seems to be down to the lack of preload on the side bearings.....the crown fell out once the bearing caps were removed, I need a slightly thicker shim than the 2.18mm one that is currently on the right hand side......does anyone have spares that they can measure>? I'm not sure how much the shim size changes the backlash so its im going to guess 0.1mm thicker to start with. Cash waiting :)
 
Follow up to this...I added a 0.1mm shim to the 2.18mm shim that was in the diff and got lucky fisrt time. Now the Preload and backlash are within spec. Result :)
