I am working on installing Duff Monster Disc kit for Dana 44. I’ve followed instructions and have torqued bottom knuckle ball joint nut 80 foot pounds. Then I installed the upper piece that controls preload and have adjusted it to get 25 lbs pull.
Everything went together fine for the drivers side. The passenger side is where the issue is.
Same steps, but after torquing the bottom nut to 80, the knuckle is already at 35 lbs of pull, before installing the top internal piece. I’ve moved knuckle back and forth many times, hoping it would ’settle’ in, no luck. I’ve even loosened the lower nut, but that makes no difference.
Can’t remove the knuckle at this point so not sure how to proceed.
