Have you got the rear springs fitted to the trailing arms? When fitted, the springs should push the crossmember down enough at the rear for the R180 to slip in, provided the car's weight is on the rear wheels. My guess is you had the car body on stands with the rear trailing arms hanging when fitting the diff. You haven't got an R200 by any chance? These require a bit of panel beating to get them in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 25 September 2000 17:33 PM Subject: R180. > I installed an R180 over the weekend in my 1600.
