Yeah I do cross tightening also, so everything is as even as possible. After about 25 times of trying to assemble the diffs I actually got them to line up and not wobble. I don't know how I did it, just kept re-trying and trying to be extra careful lining up the holes. Now I'm afraid to take them back apart and fill them with oil, I'll probably never get them assembled right again!

I think if the holes are misaligned by a tiny bit or if the screws are threaded in even a hair off-center then the ring gear won't seat right (possibly caused by the diff cup getting tweaked out of shape by misaligned screws)
