Yes its all brand new. Brand new kit going together, just received it a week ago. I have checked and rechecked assembly procedures and its as instructed. The pinion seems to have very little run out or horizontal play, maybe on half mm. When assembled it just seems as if you can feel the pinion and ring gear step on each tooth. Maybe this is normal Im just not sure. No shims were installed other than exactly what the instructions say. I used grease to check for whitness marks in the case and found just one tiny area which I dremeled away.

I've been running the Dunford OCRC setup on my truck except the 15 deg front spindles and the +5mm rear hex's and my diff oil is 5-7-5. And maybe I'm just not driving it fast enough but it just feels kinda tight in the turns if I went back to the lighter front sway bar and changed my front diff oil to 7k do you think that would "loosen" my truck up some ?? I don't get to race that often and race on a tight budget so I don't always have the money to run out and buy all the new parts and only have a set of Deja-Vu's and a set of Typos both in clay compound. any advice would be appreciated thanks in advance

do you mean turn in?
I ran on a new fresh track that was low to absolute slick surface. I had to change the shock positions to near vertical and remove both sway bars to gain grip.
never had to do that before, but I could not get the truck to turn.
there are some hairpin 180's that have jumps so I need the acceleration as well.
Lost my front sway bar this weekend LOL.

I guess turning period lol seems like the other scte's that I run with has a tighter turning radius and rotate better thru the corners than my truck does.

All the stuff I'm about to list is for an off throttle/low speed situation, if you're looking on throttle steering this stuff will be counter productive to backwards.
If you're looking for more rotation out of the rear you can try lighter rear diff fluid or soften the rear suspension (tip shocks in, softer springs, stuff like that), shortening the rear wheelbase will also add rotation.
If you're looking for more steering out of the front a lighter front sway bar (or no sway bar) will help, also softer front spring or more tipped in front shocks, shorter front camberlink.
Edit: Also make sure you're getting full steering throw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mw4rkTeWbQ
