Backlash in a rear axle is used to allow for a small amount of play between the gears, which is essential for accommodating thermal expansion and manufacturing tolerances. This slight separation prevents binding during operation, ensuring smooth gear engagement and reducing wear on the components. Additionally, it helps to absorb shock loads and vibrations, enhancing the overall durability and performance of the drivetrain. Proper backlash adjustment is crucial for optimal efficiency and longevity of the axle system.

What is a rear differential axle?
Vehicles with front wheel drive have a straight rear axle meaning there is no gear housing in the rear axle. Vehicles that are rear wheel drive have a gear box in the middle of the rear axle to change the rotation of a drive shaft to turn the rear axle. If you look under a full size pick up truck rear axle you will see a large gear box (typically referred to as a pumpkin) in the middle area of the axle. That is the gear box differential.
