Has anyone found that one bearing isn't as tight as the other on the diff case?

Slight wobble to it

The bearings are not a very tight fit on either the diff itself or the inside of each eccentric. The fit is very slightly loose but certainly not a wobble, so are probably best left off the diff until it's fitted into place.

test fitted it to see if it was ok, still too much movement of the diff itself

supposed to be smooth circulation of diff

won't work efficiently if the diff is rotating incorrectly

out of the other 17 cars I have, all are fitted with ball raced bearings and they have a tight fit on the inner and outer diameter to the relivent parts attached to, but the working part moves freely.

It's not the bearing that wobbles. It's screw end of the diff that's slightly smaller, as I have tried the bearing on both ends.

But I will contact cs to state an issue with it.

Thank you
