Hi!
I'm putting my dana 50 back together after a total makeover, but are experiencing issues with the adjustable ball joint bushing. I set the bushing at zero (neutral) as per instructions in preparation for checking the alignment and setting it to specs.
However, when I tighten up the spindle, the axle stub on the driver side binds and I cannot turn it. To get it to rotate I had to set the camber at the most positive setting (3.25 deg), with the upper ball joint standing at a most unhealthy angle. Caster at zero.
I haven't installed the shield that mounts between the spindle and the steering knuckle, but I tried spacing out the spindle with some washers and it didn't help much if any at all.
Anyone had any experience with these types of bushings, I used this: http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MOOG-K80108
As far as I can tell it's the correct part, so I'm wondering if there is something else I should worry about
