Any way to test or tell if it will need to be re-shimmed?

Heres the positive camber and toe issue. Toe isn't as far out as I remember but is still definitely positive.

Pull out the cover, mark like 5-8 teeth with some gear marking compound, and turn the pinion until you can see the pattern on the ring. You will want to spin it both ways. The rear end has to be able to spin so it would be easier if the driveshaft and axles weren't in it. Otherwise I think you should be able to spin it with all 4 wheels in the air in neutral.

That camber issues looks pretty bad. I would definitely fix that asap as well.

Driveshaft is already out. Would it be easiest just to pull the diff?
Or I can just drop the whole rear end again

Mark the teeth of the ring gear?

Leave the differential in it. It has to be bolted up to how it would be setup. I've never been underneath an awd dsm so I don't know how tight the space is. But if you can't get the cover off, you will have to drop the rear end off.
Yes, mark the teeth of the ring gear. As you turn the pinion, it will make contact with the ring gear and show you the pattern.

Ok well couldn't find the marking compound at either oreilly or napa.

Holy shit, that is some serious positive camber. You know how "stanced" cars only ride on the inside edge of the tire and how dangerous it is? That is basically what you are doing, except riding on the outside edge of the tire.

Holy shit @ that pic. Doesn't take an alignment machine to tell you how far out of whack that is. I'd get that corrected ASAP. I'd be fixing the things I know are wrong, one by one, and go from there.

Just waiting on getting the knuckle then it's going in ASAP!

Just thought of what it could possibly be!! When I did the ring and pinion gears I never swapped this bearing and spacer over I just used the one already on the pinion gear that I received! :KANE:
I'm guessing I was supposed to do that!? f me if I was lol
