Are you using a OEM one or aftermarket?
Are you installing it facing the correct way?
Do you have a lift of more than 2"?

Its installed wrong. I bet if you put the car on a lift and watch the thing operate in drive you will see it wobble itself. You might need a pinion bearing or the shaft is frozen.
