Let me guess, the birf hits the bottom of the "ball" of the axle housing? Your axle housing is probably bent.
The knuckle housings may need to be clearanced.

lol, yep read the instructions.
buddy and I put in a sink. messing around trying to get the drain pipes and garbage disposal hooked up.
his wife said (read the instructions) one to many times. he blew up and told her he didn't need any dang instructions.
filled up the sink with water. pushed the drain button, it drained for a moment and stopped. garbage disposal just made noise and the water swirl a bit.
got a bucket and took the trap out. see sink FULL OF WATER.
removed the instructions and plastic bag. put drain back together. mopped up the spilled water. it worked great.
lol, all ways read the instructions.

find a dremal
to find out if you need to grind it out,
first remove the biif from the axle
next put the birf into the spindle
then put the spindle on the knuckle
If it does not turn freely you need to grind on the inside of the knuckle ball till it does.
If it does turn freely then you are just having a hard time.
if just having a hard time, then remove the knuckle and put it in that way then reinstall the knuckle on it afterwards.
also dont stack all the steering arm shims under one cap only.

dont grind until you figure out if its needed.
I have installed over 30 pairs of these and only had to grind on three front housings.
I dont like grinding on them just to hope it works (not much meat there to begin with).
