Yea the salvage yard had two different looking ones I think the one I got was a later year range FC. The big pad on the bottom is different as well. The ring and pinion on the diff from the one I got was blown up so I got a good deal on just the aluminum part.

I can guarantee the CVs used on the MSM axles won't do that, if only because they don't have any ***** in their CVs. The MSM uses tripods.
I have no idea if the tripod joint has a higher torque capacity, but the guys at Taylor probably do.

Problem is the Mazdaspeed Axles won’t fit the OS-Giken or my spare Torsen that I currently have. so besides the cost of the axles it’s an expensive swap. I'm pretty sure the tripoids will handle torque better. I haven't blown any axles up yet but the noticeable wear and sloppiness they develop has me replacing them every season.
