My guess is you either didn't install a NEW axle nut like you were supposed to or did not get it torqued to 300ft-lb like you should have.

I thought only steers and queers came from Lebanon. So I think I have it now, you are installing used bearings.....
They are $30 each from Smyth's brand new.

I told him to use the whole knuckle with the cv axle attached except the one that was broken. It's not like you gave me any money for them Jake!:lol:

I don't know why you are having so many problems with that thing. I beat the crap out of mine every chance I got and it never gave me any trouble before we took it apart. Same with Travis' Cougar, and it had a 5 spd too!

That was either because the wheel was bent or when Travis' dealership only did 2 wheel alignment instead of 4 after he put the different knuckles on it not realizing the wheel was bent. Not sure what you're referring to. He never had any problem with bearings or half shafts.:cool2:
