[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 1574583, member: 4238"] Welp… Got all the grinding finished up today. [ATTACH type="full"]215030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]215031[/ATTACH] Then I went at the whole thing with a wire wheel. The very last part I had to clean was the passenger side inner C. Something's not right here… [ATTACH type="full"]215032[/ATTACH] I bought the axle out of '06 F-250 at a local junkyard. I saw the truck before they pulled the axles. It wasn't a front end collision. I don't "think" the housing is bent, haven't had time to confirm yet. I believe it was caused by a bad/loose balljoint at some point. Not sure what the next step will be now. I have a set of the American Iron balljoint deletes for the build. They use a bearing, tapered steel bushing and a through bolt in place of the balljoint. I've talked a bit to the owner of the company, he said to test fit the bushing in the C and see how sloppy it is. If it's not too bad he said the bushing could be welded in to the C. A local buddy has a bad housing with good Cs if I do have to go down the path of replacing the whole C. I really don't want to have to do that, but I really can't afford another $500 plus for a new axle right now either. [/QUOTE]
