I installed the wheels and had just tightened the nuts "fairly tight" by hand (no cheater bar) - NOwhere near the 137 ft-lbs necessary. I just wanted to get the wheels on the ground to do the "bounce" and tighten a couple of bushings and then torque the axle nuts (the big OE flat washer was under the nuts).
The wheels were really hard to turn (still raised). Then I noticed the GSP outer dustcovers were being squeezed by the knuckle onto the outer "body" of the axle; there is no gap, which would be necessary for the wheel to turn. I backed off on the nuts all the way, and this eased the pressure and the wheel turned easily.
I did not torque the axle nuts, and obviously did not take it for a drive.
These are the correct axles; the numbers match several vendors, as well as listed on our site several times. There were no directions.
Has anyone else with GSP encountered this? I will call GSP today - but am in a quandary - no one else has mentioned this, whether for GSP or any other axles.
HELP!
Thanks,
Tom M
