Hi Dave,

Thanks for picking the diff up for me.

Were the first few pictures my Miata diff in your Sportage front third member?

If it was, does bearing spacing and ring gear offset seem OK?

How is the slop of the half shafts into the Miata diff compared to in the Sportage diff?

I think there are snap ring grooves where the axles go into the diff carrier. Do they seem to be the same size and distance into the carrier as the sportage and are the grooves on both sides of both carriers?
