Is it very damp where you live? Brakes and corrosion I had a 1962 Plymouth Fury with the stock tapered axles, I swapped the third member, put the axles back in and thought I had the axle bearing preload set correctly, drove it around the block and then into town, ended up I didn't have the axle bearings seated all the way into the housing, driving around corners seated them I had to add shims to get it corrected, I hate them early tapered axle cars
