Took my knuckle apart and I found something interesting and worrisome.
- Firstly, No C clip on the outer front axle shaft, but somehow it all stayed together, albeit shaky I'm sure.
- With that I judged everything else as potential slop
- Then I found 2 shims up on top and 4 shims down below. Yikes. the preload was pretty loose before I tore it apart IMO, now I know why.
So, anyone find 4 shims on theirs? OR did the sloppy previous rebuild just get those mixed up and it should have been a 3 on top and 3 on bottom?
I don't really want to find the SST somewhere in town to make sure the knuckle is centered. ugg.
