Got a brand new never used Mojave EXB. The previous owner had bought it without the original EXB diffs and all he did was chucking in two standard BLX diffs (310957). Rear Dog-bone of one particular side is popping out in the first 3 min of driving. I see that all the Mojave BLX / EXB and the Fireteam share same dog-bone (310953) So i am assuming that the only deciding factor for this mishap is related to the diff cups or droop (possibly???)
Attached is a photo showing, what in my opinion, is an acceptable droop.
Also attached is a second photo showing the proximity of the dog-bone to the diff cup end whilst car is resting on its wheels... which IMO is too close.
Questions:
** i see that some here had same issue and they are replacing the dogbones with CVDs as in the front - how good is this as i understand the difference in length is only 2mm.
** if i get the actual complete EXB diffs (310981) would i resolve this matter? Are the cups any deeper allowing dog-bones to rest better inwards towards the diff? All my friends owning the BLX version of the Mojave have 0 issues in this regards so we are a little lost tbh.
On a different note... if i decide to change all diffs to the original EXB versions (which i trust are the 29mm ones vs the present 31mm) would i gain anything? or buying Vitavon
thanks guys.. your help much appreciated... and all the best for the coming new year!

HD Steel Ring & Pinion Spiral Cut Gear Set 43/10T would improve the drive train just enough (as i have done and already been convinced on my fireteam)?
