I have a 96 ranger extended cab, 4wd 4.0 Automatic. I swapped out the auto hubs for milemarker manuals. The passengerside i had no problems with initially. Now the driverside on the other hand is a diffrent story. When i attempt to put the final torque on the outer nut the locking washer strips past the keyway stripping the dog off of the locking washer. This has happened with two diffrent washers. I used the milemarker conversion kit. Any chance the Warn conversion kit is better? It seems as if the dog on the locking washer isnt machined big enough to solidly lock it in the key way. Has anyone else experienced this??? The passenger side held on the final torque but when i pulled the rotors to have them turned the dog on that washer was half stripped as well. Is there some trick im missing?? or are they just junk to begian with or should i get a new set of spindles even though they look to not be damaged? If so wheres the best place to procure them in good shape or new for stock use?? Please someone tell me they have a solution for this as im sick of calling milemarker for new washers.
