Dana 60 front axle kingpin rebuild
Did I put this together wrong?
Used new bearings and races, new seals, new springs, new upper bushing, and new lower bearing caps, etc.
Followed Billa Vista's directions in assembly and have also completed the assembly by pumping the upper and lower cavities full of grease. The torque values are to spec and the bearing races are squarely seated in the lower ear of the "C" of the axle.
Question:
When I rotate the knuckle the "feeling" is looser directly around where you start from (no matter where you start from) and becomes "slightly" tighter feeling as it is rotated after 20 degrees or so from the starting point.
Is this normal? Or did I follow Billa's directions incorrectly?/
Any help is appreciated!
