Thanks Nick,
I'm learning more about differentials than I will remember when I'm done.
I'm going to check the axle free play (bearing preload) today. I will know then if installing the older 985 3rd member was a mistake. The following I found after making the sway:
There was a difference in
thrust blocks prior to 1964 that make center section interchange, as
well as axle interchange problematic. The thrust block, or "axle shaft
thrust spacer", it thr block that both left and right axles butt up
against inside the center of the differential. Prior to 1964, all open
differentials used a thrust block was approximately 1/8" to 1/4" thicker
than units made after 1964.
Thanks again,
Dennis C.

Not remembering a 985 8.75. Confusion is contagious. :)
