backlash has very little to do with noise during driving. what did the pattern look like on the crownwheel when covered in bearing blue before fitting?

as asked on patrol forum - are they new gears?
or are they gears out of something else?
As said they may have a bad wear pattern in them.

check you pattern again or get a diff shop to check the diff pattern, it sounds like you've set the pinion height up incorrectily causing incorrect tooth contact ;)
