There is no sign of any twist and everything looks excellent in this rear end assembly, other than the ring and pinion. These axles are about five years or so old, and look good.I didn't build this rear end initially. Shouldn't they engage the spool deeper than an inch?

It should match or exceed the diameter of the axle.
