Running no shims isn't a problem as long as the diff was seated really well in the housing and there wasn't any play left to right, i.e. the new eb48 kits have great tolerances so I didnt need any shims but as I said, add them until there is no play and if you only need 1 shim then try it on both sides to see which gets the best meshing/noise.

Yes. The angle rear diff case is much better for pin and outdrive wear.

Yea the new rear angled housing/bearings are amazing, well worth it.
