While checking and greasing the u-joints, I found that I had a little
lateral play in the left side bearing. I was able to remove this play by
tightening the adjusting ring three notches.

    If you are refering to the side adjuster on the diferential then the spec 
is 2-3 notches tight from zero clearance. So if you just went to snug then 
you are probably OK. BUT, you also changed the backlash setup inside the diff. 
If you indeed did the left drivers side then you increased the backlash. That 
is better than the other way around, so, if you don't have any noise as you 
drive the FC you will probably be safe.
