Posted a while ago about this problem - still looking for a solution. Any advice would be great.
Just bought a new cruiser for a daily so i can finally dedicate some time to finally sorting this out.
Following a solid axle swap, im having trouble with what feels like the front shaft binding. I dropped 3 degree crastor wedges in last night to see if helped - it didnt.
In regular 2 wheel drive hight range, like i drive it everyday, the front shaft will turn if the hubs are locked and there is a fair amount of movement in the front center. i cant find any reason to suspect missing teeth on the center, although with the hubs locked it drives as though the center is caching on something with every rotation, very much like a busted center.
My guess at the moment is the hubs. Any ideas as to why the front shaft would turn in 2 wheel drive when the hubs are locked??
Any help would be great before i tear the front end down again next weekend.

Thanks again in advance for any help.
