Re: '50 3600 re-do. Shortening things up!

Progress has slowed to a crawl on my 4 link install. Still mocking things up, had the drive shaft shortened and installed and realized the yokes were different & the ujoint wouldnÂ’t work. I picked up a different one not thinking that the newer one wouldn’t fit the driveshaft and foolishly threw the old one away. It dawned on me that the old rear was also an 8.5 so I decided to just swap the yokes. This leads me to a couple of other potential issues that I need some advise on:

1. In my haste to remove the yoke, I didn’t count the threads before I removed the nut. What do you recommend I do as far as tightening it up.

2. As you can see there is a little play on the yoke. Is this normal?
