I just checked em out and it seems after welding, the boxes have bowed out an 1/8 in. at the bottom causing a slight bind on the bearings so back to the grind....

Tack them good then run short hot welds about 1/2"
to max 1"... let it cool before hitting the next spot

That and a big hammer and all`s well and no more bind. They`re already welded in Mike. There`s a collar that`s the same od as the bearings inner that the bolt goes through so instead of the bearing taking the hit cornering, I found some washers slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bearings and installed em on the inside of the bearings w/a slight gap and we`re golden. Don`t like the idea of the bearing takin the beating when the washer can better spread the load..........

I`ll get picks later but it`s actually tighter than my poly lubed up shackles.............. I assume some has to do w/em being flat and having no arch but after I bring my pinion angle back to around 4-5 instead of 7 we`ll drive it and see. Thankxx 4 all of the help.

Sliders kick azz............love em. Car`s way more stable and shoot and point and it goes. It`s really trying to hook up on the street but maybe next Sat. I can take care of a long over due street race and see what happens.............
