[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1477249, member: 15940"] So I also tore the front apart (drive pin also broken) and drilled all the gears and shaved more off the tubes and gear cases. If you read back when I did bearings for the knuckles I made shims to preload the bearing. Since these are aluminum knuckles the area inside the knuckle is wider than the cast ones and I just reversed the bearing with the flange on the inside. To set the preload against the bearing you simply file material off the tube where the bearing meets it. Unfortunately I broke 2 of them and was out so I gotta get more bearings to finish that up. I also gave the front more caster. I also made a new tie rod..
