Default im getting sick of this

ok well since i did my swap ive had problems with the driver's side front axle. i keep getting this thudding sound from under my feet, the axle doesnt seem to be going in perfectly straight, and it binds up a little bit. to remedy this i have done two things: changed the axles to dss axles which didnt fix it, and got new mounts cause one was blown and that didnt help. i mean its not as bad as before but not right yet. im starting to get pissed. any ideas on what to look for now?

are you sure you are installing it properly? you have to be very carefull with the joints on install.

when you swap the axle is it better for a little while, or bad from the get go?

if the axles, wheel bearings, mounts ect...all check out...you might need to have your differential checked out.
