Well, if you have a crush sleeve for setting the bearing preload then you have to be careful not to overtighten it, but basically yes.

to correctly set the preload on the pinion bearings you need a new crush sleeve and to take the carrier out. If it has play then i say take it straight back to the shop that did the work.

I took recordings of my drivetrain at my Bellhouse, front axletube, and rear axletube and it's definitely something from the rear half of my drivetrain but I'm not sure if it's my differential. I'm going to take a video of my driveshaft and see if it's unbalanced or they reinstalled it incorrectly. I'll let you guys know when I figure it out.

Ok there wasn't too much play, but when you turn it it doesn't make that nice clean *dung* sound my frond diff does.....its more like a *clu-tunk* like the kid of noise when you shake a gun but deeper pitch. I know I'm kinda herping and derping on the descriptions but hay, also there's gear oil all over everything, it's all the way up on the yoke and pinion nut.
