I could not stand that slop.

I shimmed them. Mine had about 1mm of slop.. And yes I had the plastic 1mm spacer in there too.

On a dusty dry track my car is very twitchy. I am running 5/5/3. What should I change the diff fluid to tame it down?

The rear hinge pin holders. The one in the front of the rear diff case is the C block. The one at the very rear of the car is the D block.

Yes. Get one of the “corner” position blocks. Put them low and to the inside. In both rear blocks.

I had good results lowering the rear hubs and shortening the rear camber link. I tried the above real pill setup but did t like it. I put the anti squat back in the rear, and ran less front caster.
