Hi,

Something to check:

You have the diff / t-nut in the correct outdrive. It will fit in both, so check manual, that you have it in the correct one.

Is the drive shaft hitting the diff / t-nut when the suspension is compressed?

MiCk B. :-)

Sounds like either initial overtightening, or a jammed thrust race.
