None that I'm aware of. Does this mean that any day now the whole third member is going to go ker-plunk right out from under me?
Seriously, it probably did change the pinion angle slightly, but not enough to cause a binding or out-of-phase condition. In fact, I wonder if I could even perform the second mod (re-drill the rear mounting bracket) if I was running solid bushings at the housing? Less movement to get everything to line-up. Some folks on SCOF have reported better traction and elimination of wheel hop via solid bushings.
BTW, the large third bolt that holds the bracket to the frame does have a large rubber isolator running through it. Otherwise, vibrations from the frame would just shake the hell out of the diff cover connection and probably fatigue the alum cover over time, i.e. crack it.
