I'm really sorry to break this to you but that is kind of what it looked like in the picture. I was just waiting for someone else to say it. Your diff is now, well, not a diff anymore. It will be just as good as a solid axle with all four bevel gears in there. Think about it or try it with legos. Trust me, you need to take one of the bevel gears out that is attatched to the diff housing.
