Default Help! Help! Help!

heres the deal. having a buddy of mine called me who is putting my new gears in. he told me something is fucked up bc he had to shim the **** out of the driver side making it to where we couldnt put the c-clip on the axle. so the only thing i can come up with is i ordered the wrong set or i ordered the right gear but someone had swapped the carrier before i got the car. the car is a GU2 car. the richmond gear is a 4.10 with a small dim. pinion and a very thick ring gear. the gear that came out of the car (as far as i know) was stock and a 2.73 i think with a fat dim pinion and a thin dim ring gear. if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. i dont have any pics (SORRY!) but i can get some over the wkend
