spacer on the bearing race which will work very well on the new axles. I
will just be adding to the depth of the press on spacer. I will be sure
to have a tight fit but will not require a press on fit.The unit is new
and I still do not see how to install a thrust button but guess it will
not be necessary now.This may also help if I add negative camber to the
rear since the axle end will not be pressing against any thing.If anyone
can think of any problems with this please let me know. Thanks for the
input from everyone.
