[QUOTE="Freeride, post: 780598, member: 16037"] I'm really leaning towards the shitty casting theory. The front end went together smooth as butter. Wheels and bearings spin nice and smooth. I spun the diff with just the shaft sticking through the spindle and it didn't seem like anything was bent. Just talked to a machinist friend, and I think I know what we're going to do. I'm going to get some factory Ford hubs, and we're going to make steel rings for both sides that will slide over the hubs and keep them from expanding. Make 'em nice and tight, so that we heat them up, slide them on and when they cool, they'll clamp nice and tight around the hub to keep it from expanding and blowing up. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
