Hello,
Maybe some one can chime in I did front disc brake conversion 600 miles ago it was pulled out of a 1969 bronco and installed it on my 1972 bronco.It was pretty much brand new. I bolted everything up and torqued everything correctly followed directions to the tee. It spins freely as it should and stops great. The only thing I noticed is after stopping and going to turn right it binds and clunks a little. I can feel it in the bronco. I am trying to trouble shoot it and put the front axle up on jack stands but can’t mimic the binding action when rotating the wheel. The u joints look old but the ball joints are new. There is play within the axle back and forth leading up to the spindle and slinger. Am I missing something here. Do I need different axles or is this play normal. Should I be looking in other areas. Btw the bearings are new and seals as well.
Thank you
Derek
