the circlips are the same size but the bearings themselves are different thickness, Try searching " Quaife LSD" install there a few blogs on the subject. \hope this helps.

It was the circlips, installed them in the wrong side. (Make sure you mark them to indicate left & right side as the thickness is different)
Left thickness: 4.1mm
Right thickness: 4.2mm
putting them in the incorrect sides was enough to create the whining noise.
Apologize James,
Left thickness: 4.1mm
Right thickness: 4.2mm
putting them in the incorrect sides was enough to create the whining noise.

What kind of tool do you use to get the circlips out? I just bent a pair of needle nose pliars trying to and the circlip didn't budge, James.
