Is the taper actually correct for the FC spindle? if not did you ream the spindle, or is it just "close enough"? i wouldn't expect chevy/pinto studs to work on a Mazda

HUGE thanks to 2A and Jason! You guys did an awesome job.

shift_sidewayz: the diff is a T2 s4 clutch type. its not really welded up anymore... 285/35/18 on negative offset 12J's with the rear under compression going into a drive way too many times.

its still better than a stock diff tho

when i changed the subframe and diff cover i inspected the welds and it looked fine but internally its not holding up...

my bro's diff is a s4 t2 that forrest **** welded up... its still 100% locked. he did mine as well but just differently.

ive done alot of launches and brake stands with 285's and maybe that broke the welds
