Spindle to Knuckle

[broncobenny]

Is there a gasket or spacer between the spindle and knuckle on a 74' EB w/ Dana 44? My right wheel leans in at the bottom about 3/8". Can't detect any bent axle housing or loose parts, but there appears to be a shim or gasket that is thicker (1/16') on top than on the botton (0") between the spindle and the knuckle. This was all pulled down by someone else for a u joint replacement a year or so ago and it's just been sitting around during the major rebuild. Any help appreciated. :mellow: :mellow:

Sounds like you have found an alignment shim.

They used to be fairly common, don't come across them much anymore though.

Yes Sir, you were right, I dug into it this weekend, looks like a gasket, only thicker to one side. I flipped it 180 degrees and put it all back together and now everything is straight up and down. Made me feel a lot better.
