Default Front Diff problem.........

Stay away Dave

While changing the oil seal last night i noticed a tooth was missing off of the circled part in the picture.




Is this ok to fit or do i need to seek another one..............

One thing after another, after another with these tubs!

it's not a problem with the tooth missing
it's only there to tighen it up

unless the missing tooth just ends up in the same place that the locking plate is supposed to fit, then you'r fucked
