Quaife / OBX LSD problem with GSR tranny passenger side axle
Okay so here is the problem.... to begin with i have an S80 GSR tranny...
I had the OBX L.S.D in the car and i would constantly spit axles out and they wouldnt want to go back in....so i did some measuring and etc....came to conclusion that the grooves for the snap ring to snap into place were so far in that the axle would sit flush in but the snap ring on the axle would never reach the grooves.....
I went ahead and meausred the distance on the grooves in the quaife and found out that it is correct.....i purchased the quaife since it was the way to go.....the problem i am having now is that the lip on the housing of the L.S.D is about 1/8 of an inch longer and the axle is bottoming out where the axles stop point is on the lip and the lip on the outer part of the diff...

couple things i tried
putting the axle in the ORIGINAL diff and the axle locks into place
i tried couple different axles...GSR SI etc..
anyone have any ideas as to why i am having this problem?

you must have the wrong axles.....i dont have that issue with my quaife.....
pick up a used/rebuilt axle from autozone or something and check/measure that one out.
