eattsie9 350 Posted November 3, 2014 Hey guys hoping u guys have some suggestions coz I'm fkn stumped... Just changed the wheel bearings for the Ed diff I've just fitted to my xf, anyway for some reason the drivers side axle doesn't seem to go all the way in. The axle sits out slightly and it isn't in snug (may b coz it's not all the way in). I have tried the shorter axle in both sides for curiosity sake and it fits snug and how I would have expected it too. Axles is in as far as it can go it turns drive shaft wit is still poking out a little bit Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

93xf 2 Posted November 3, 2014 Have you tried rotating the opposite axle back and fourth? I had a similar issue, moved the opposite axle around and it went in snug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
