It is the setup of a pinion that can be a PIA. It has to be shimmed to have a neutral gear lash otherwise it will be noisy and wear out prematurely. Basically take some grease and smear it on the ring gears and put everything together and spin the pinion noticing where the grease trails on the ring gear and the pinion face. You want it to be in the middle of both. So the trick is getting the right shim.
