I pressed on my one piece axle bearings on to the axle. I checked and rechecked pre load 40 thou. I put the first axle in on the passenger side everything seemed good. I put the driver side on and it put the axle into a state of no spin. To much pre load so I will pull the bearing of and check pre load again. Clean and reinstall. What changed on me that would cause this. I used the mic when checking the bearing preload. When you have to tight a bearing on one side can it affect the other side?:bang:
 
I have to ask. Did you get the bearings and retainers from one of the axle companies or from the auto store?
 
Found out my problem. The thrust block has to be removed. A fact that I did not know. I will pull it and all should be good. I used all g2 stuff
