So, I replaced my axles and rebuilt everything on the knuckle. When I did the bearings on the steering knuckle, I put the shims back as they were. This was about three years ago. I recently heard a rubbing on hard right hand turns, so I pulled the knuckle apart. I thought it would be the brass bushing on the knuckle spindle, but it looked fine. On further inspection, I found the outside of the spindle joint on the half shaft was rubbing on the top steering knuckle bearing. Any ideas why, and how I remedy this?
Sorry for the awkward description, that is the best I could do. I updated and put pics in post #5.
I didn't notice any slop in the knuckle and there were no loose bolts anywhere when I disassembled it.
Not sure if this matters, but I had the differential rebuilt about 6,000 miles ago.
See post 18 for explanation.
