I'd be surprised if the bearing locations would be different on any other differential - especially since this differential was already applied in Lexus and possibly Supra models. Sorry if this sounds too obvious, but have you made sure that the new bearings were pressed all the way to the stop?

That's what I'm thinking, that the bearings might not be on properly, as there is a small gap. But we pressed them on with 3 tonnes of pressure on a proper bearing press (using something that only contacted the inner race of the bearing, not the diff itself) and they wouldn't budge any further after about half a tonne of pressure. I think if we carried on past 3 tonnes it would have just bent something. These are brand new bearings from Toyota. Did you have to do anything weird to get your bearings to seat all the way down?
