This is the main purpose of those 'o' rings, to keep the outdrives properly seated. It's also possible that if there is looseness there that the splines have now started to strip.[/QUOTE

Even when you have universals?

Do you still put them ?

No suspension binds?


Thanks
The O rings have a double role. One is as explained above, to keep in the dogbones if used. The second role is to keep in the diff outdrives if the older TA03/Manta ray version is used, as these outdrives are not held inside by anything. If you use the balldiff and universals there's no need for the rings. Otherwise you need them.
