I have an issue with a Quaife LSD.

This LSD is for a sport model with stock vLSD swap(I have the base non sport model with open Diff). I got a good deal on it used so i figured just get a new stub axle for the driver side and call it a day. Looks like thats not that case.

The passenger side is what im having the problem with.

The diff seems like it holds it then when i drive it, the stub axle slips out of place like nothing is holding it in there.

(I did double check to see if the retaining ring was there and it was.)

Heres some pics to see what i mean.

This is the stub axle i have (from open diff)

When the stub is first pushed in/when it was first installed.

After i move any distance, it pulls the stub out about a 1/4 of a inch if not more.

This is how far the stub axle slides out till it seems to really lock

Should i get a different sub axle for this? i have done new bearings and seals and all that and just need to get this one part to lock in place and my diff setup will be complete.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!
