After that point I would sue whoever installed the Quaife if it is proven it was the part that "truly" failed. That would be the first Quaife failure I've heard of so hence the "improper installation" statement.
Well, you may be correct. I just called up the company to check the status, and it's still in the claims adjustor's hands waiting for a decision. The inspector noted that the differential was stripped.
Then, I asked them about returning it to the condition I purchased it in, and they said it will be returned to stock, but if it's an aftermarket part, and the inspector noticed it, then it's not going to be covered. An obsure part of the contract where it says what's not covered (in the middle of a bunch of other stuff, lights, tires, etc.) it says "any part not installed by the manufacturer at time of assembly". So if you are right, I may talk to the dealer to see if they will do anything about it (since they sold me the car and the warranty, knowing/not knowing a lot of parts are not covered). Otherwise if they just give me the slip, I'll just let the guy that talks to the newly arrived airmen to add that dealer to their list of "do not buy from these guys" they tell all them.
Also, I don't think I want to sue fst4dr... but maybe he didn't install it himself. I'll PM him and find out.
Anyway, hopefully tomorrow I'll know the fate of my car. If I can't do anything at all with it, then I dunno what I'll do since it's all torn apart, and that place sure wants $ for doing that, which I don't have. It may end up going to a storage facility in pieces 
In any case, I'll try to get the Quaife back and ask the guy if there were any shims in there.
