Also if your running a torsen consider buying a new center thurst block and measuring it against what you have.
Maybe that's worn too. I replaced mine last season after I had to cut out a stripped pin bolt.

I just had an idea, why not weld a bead on top of a Dorman clip that's never seen oil, then flatten it back out with a sanding flapwheel on an angle grinder until it fits?

I spoke with the guy that makes the thicker clips, and where the critical part is hardening
He's willing to make a set for us if I can get a few guys to commit
Need to talk to Al and see if I can get the blessing for this to be a test run for a 2020 RCR, but the single best thing I did to kill knock back is replacing worn c clips
If I can further redurlce end play by .01 on each side it will be mint.
All the bullshit around axle end flex and caliper springs pales compared to simply taking out end play with thicker or not worn c clips
I just ordered some Dorman clips off of Amazon, nobody had any in town. We'll see what the car does on Feb 24th cheatin bastard practice day.

I had success by welding a small bead on the end of the axle and grinding or "tuning" it so size allowing a small amount for heat expansion. Ran those axles for years.

We'll have to measure the play on mine since it has c clip eliminators and I have plenty of knockback.
