Cause of irregular wear to inside bottom of knuckle ball (1 Viewer)

[BigDogg]

In the middle of a brake and knuckle rebuild. Started in on the front passenger side and noticed what appeared to be irregular wear marks on the inside bottom of the knuckle ball. Is this normal? What is the cause? Anything to be concerned about or other things to check?

It’s a badge of honor that your rig was actually used at some point for its intended purpose.

No mechanical concerns.

Does it look like any of the parts you removed caused this or is it possible that they are just left over marks from when the axle was made? How loose were things when you took it apart?

Everything seemed relatively tight and I did not notice any other signs of wear. Just looked odd, as the other side did not have the deep gouge marks...

When we used our Toyota mini truck axles in King of the Hammers, this type of wear was common.
