the collapsable spacer sets the pre load on the pinion bearings,this is critical,
you can`t re set or adjusttighten this,if you are rebuiding the diff then a new spacer comes with bearings.

you must measure the end float or whip,whilst the pinion is fitted,if you are not 100% sure,get it done proffesionally,
the diff will eat its self very rapidly otherwise.
