Car is back together. Needs an alignment and something really strange is going on with my rear diff fill plug, seams like its to small? The threads don’t look messed up and from what I could see the threads in the cover look to be ok also. I didn’t notice until after I added gear oil and went to tighten the plug. Not sure whats going on but I really hope I don’t need to take the whole rear end back out… At first I thought maybe I swapped plugs but the one with the magnet goes in the drain plug right?? ![http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa271/shrekb18/03%20EVO%20VIII/DSCN1552.jpg](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa271/shrekb18/03%20EVO%20VIII/DSCN1552.jpg) ![http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa271/shrekb18/03%20EVO%20VIII/DSCN1551.jpg](http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa271/shrekb18/03%20EVO%20VIII/DSCN1551.jpg) I also re installed the e-brake ---
