Dave,

I disagree with you on the Sportage t-case. Only way to find out is to get the t-case from pick and pull for your gear project and open it to find out.

I'm not disagreeing with Gary on the % difference required for binding to occur, but just stating that a slightly faster rotation from the front end vs the rear actually makes for better performing 4wd operation.

On the other subject,
Does your front end use shims to adjust the pinion depth? Mine looks like it uses a crush sleeve.

When I did the rear end it used a crush sleeve, and if you crushed it to much you had to pull it all a part, replace the crush sleeve and do it again.

Shims to set the pinion depth are the best way to go in my opinion.
