Not sure ? I cant remember if i swapped plates with the axles or not ?

I do know that this is like the 4th set of center pins ive changed in the last 2 years. I thought i had it figured out the last time when i realized i was running the smaller 35 pins and the perch hole on the 44 takes the bigger pins.... but apparently that made NO improvement. FAWK !!! :gonnablow

Nicely done!

First it was tie-rods, now it's center pins.

Make sure you torque everything down, any play with warp those very quickly. Also are you using s 3/8 or 5/16 pin? I think RE leaves use the larger 3/8 pin.
 
Spent all day wrenching on somebody else's Jeep. Only two parts runs plus a breaker bar delivery after two consecutive socket wrenches were stripped, not too bad?
 
Hey just womderin were you guys get the pins from? I'm gona build a bastard pack gona need some :)
