It does all compress when you tighten the bolts up. Check the lengths on the bones are correct to the amendments.

hi, I have checked length extra 10mm added, I n oted that the shaft does compress somewhat, is it supposed to or is that for movement under compression of shocks?

If you have push in shaft's it keeps them seated in the diff,there are two big springs in the inner joints.
