So we are doing a rebuild on our 8 3/4. Car is a 1972 Dodge Coronet. Stock 8 3/4 axle. Anyways the drivers side axle looks like it was hitting the inside of the carrier. This just seems to be on the drivers side axle. Passenger is fine. Here is the wear.
Drivers side.
Passenger Side
Where is was rubbing on the diff.
So the question is can we just clean the one side axle up and put it back in. Is this something we need to shim for? We are doing a wheel bearing job. I am wondering if the drivers side wheel bearing was worn more than the passenger side. In turn this gave it some play. I figure clean it up and throw it back together. Anybody seen this before. If so what was your fix.
