[QUOTE="spazzyfry123, post: 8099598, member: 37206"] 'Bout to go nuts with this thing. I haven't been messing with it for the past week or however long it's been thinking I was done with the front...Wrong. I decided to take it for a test spin around the neighborhood yesterday and didn't have any problems...Pulled it back into the driveway and parked it happy with myself. Then I forgot I needed something else and went to back it up...Lower ball joint threads grab the wheel and stop the truck. DAMNIT. So then I take the wheels off and grind the threads down some more and smooth the inside of the wheel from where they grabbed it. I smoothed the lower ball joint as much as I could...Any more and I don't think there's going to be a slot for the cotter pin to stay in. I put the wheels back on and spin them a ton of rotations both forwards and backwards...No catches or anything...smooth spinning. So I put the truck back on the ground and it drives fine forwards...And grabs the wheels like hell when I pop it in reverse. What the hell is causing this to only happen when the wheels are going backwards?! Am I going to have to grind the actual wheel itself? Getting upset as these spindles are supposed to work on 18 inch wheels :poke: Has anyone that is using these spindles and wheels (ACSVT maybe?) have any pictures of how close the clearance is from the wheels to the lower ball joint from the drop spindles? Or what you did to make them clear? [/QUOTE]
