The suregrip has the 2 buttons connected with a roll pin. A non sure grip pig would have the round shiney "flats" that the axle ends butt against.

So did I put the wrong axles with the suregrip or is the problem in the suregrip itself ? The right side fit right ? are there any diagrams you know of this showing what I need to do

You can swap sure grip & non sure grip pigs & nothing changes on the axles so it would have to be non axle related. I would look in & see if the button is there on the offending side. You are adjusting the threaded collar on the one axle & still not enough? EDIT I've seen two different thicknesses of the white foam gasket that goes between the axle flange and the b plate, the eBay ones ($9.95 for 2 foam/2 steel iirc) are a weak 3/16" thick & iirc the felpro ones are much thinner (I cant find em at the moment).

nothing on the splined tip of the axle, it is cutoff square with a slight chamfering around the perimeter, just the shallow hole in the center for when they chucked it up in the lathe to machine the shaft.

What case is the center section, 742, 489? 489 would have a piece in there, open or sure grip, but a 742 has the button as mention that will come out.

Is there any chance the button fell off and is floating around ?

A clutch type center would fit in many different carrier housings. I have had a early clutch type in a 489 case, so that is not a guide. The OP needs to look or have sometime "in the know" look and figure out if there is something missing. We are assuming there is an adjuster on one axle. We are assuming there are still tapered bearings on the axles. We are assuming the installed axle is seated. Too many variables right now.

It would be the first thing I would check.

May have found the problem - one axle is 1/4 shorter then the other - buttons are in place - the axles should be the same height right? They must have got mixed up in storage

I wouldn't think there is another app that has axles that close to B body dimentions. compare the bearing/adjuster plate, the items at the outer end of the axles, their spacing on the axle & see if you see any discrepency. are you using the thick or the thin white foam seals? If I can find my thin felpros' I will measure them compared to the thick eBay ones I (also) have.

I talked with the guy working on this and he said when he adjusts the right side it has no effect on the left
