[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1370935, member: 15940"] So on one of the topics that comes up is the slop in the front axles/side to side in the knuckle. Somebody had mentioned in one of the threads that maybe the stub on the axle needs to be able to float in/out. Well I decided to check how the axle feels rotating it while turning. Well my conclusion was it fent better when the stub is pulled tight outward(stub against the inner bearing on the knuckle. Now allot of talk that pops up regarding this talks about using nylon washers to fix it. Well I did some looking around the shop and came up with this-- GM OEM fuel o-rings (bigger pressure side). They are the perfect size not only diameter but thickness. These things are also stiffer than a normal rubber o-ring so they actually might work. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-40.jpg[/IMG] Perfect fit--just a tad snug [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-41.jpg[/IMG] And I didn't have to put any extra pressure on the hex to get the pin in. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-42.jpg[/IMG] So we will see how this works out.. [/QUOTE]
