So I need some help. I am assembling a custom rear FF Axle and elocker that uses all 80 series parts, the housing and axle shafts being the only custom parts.
I have the assembled housing under the truck now but when I try to spin the wheels by hand, they are hard as hell to spin. I have tried it both locked and open and it does not seem to make a difference. The diff spun freely and easily prior to install. The hub spindle is torqued to FSM spec. and the hub tension on both sides is at 9lbs. Hubs spin easily prior to the axle installation. After I install the axles the hubs are very tight and tough to spin by hand. I have already taken it back apart and checked everything once.
What could be wrong here? I am wondering if the axle shafts are slightly long would this cause the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
