Driveline question rear diff tight spot.
Hey guys, need some advice on something I noticed that did not seem right to me. I noticed during assembly of my drive line that rotating my rear wheels there is a spot that is difficult to rotate thru. This is with the main drive shaft disconnected.
I just had my half shafts balanced and new permanently sealed/greased Spicers professional installed by a reputable shop. There was no binding of the new u-joint so I believe that can be ruled out.
I am able to rotate through that spot but its tight. Is this normal? It takes some muscle to get past that spot and I do not see any binding.
Any thoughts on this?

Ah hah yes! I have a geometrically induced drive-line interference from overly negative-camber due to pre-loaded suspension not loaded......now I can sleep lol
