1967 F100 2WD Rear axle driver side binding when bolts or tightened up

Post by Godspeed128 »

Hey guys I just install the rear end on my truck put the axle in on the passenger side everything looked great and spins good I moved over to the driver side installed the axel tighten down the four bolts and now it's binding. The only thing I can see is that the passenger side has a washer in between The bearing in the differential housing and the axle bearing I looked at the LMC parts list and I'm not sure I see a washer at all anyone have any ideas on this thanks for any help

Pics of the side that works I pulled the axel from the other side and exchange them both work no it's not the pressed on Berrings
Also a pic of the side that's binding something went wrong on the side I noticed now that the shoulder where the bearing goes is beveled like something have been eaten away at it

Ok all it was is the inner axel seal replaced it and all is fine for some reason the fade of the old one was chewed up
