At this point I would need new axle tubes I believe, Vince. I already had new Moser ends put on once. They narrowed the rear by just a little bit to get those on. They also didn't weld the tubes to the carrier correctly because it leaks there now. So yeah, new rear end for me I think.

I really want to keep the ten bolt if possible. The problem is I also want to eliminate the c clips and put tapered bearings on the tube ends so I can go around corners reliably. I would like to do this without a bolt on c clip eliminator kit like the one from Strange. From what I've been able to find out so far, I'm looking at a lot of custom work. I hate it because the ten bolt is plenty strong enough for me, weighs less, and robs less power than the 12 bolt or 9 in. For me, it's the superior choice. I'm just not certain I can get it built to go around corners reliably. I need to do more research.

This is also completely separate from figuring out this scraping noise, too. The rear will get swapped out eventually.

Thanks
