Re: 72 K20 build thread, need good name

the shafts look normal, they are open to the air and mud until they rear the diff on the inside, then they seal up. There might be a little play but shouldn't be much. You spindle holds it all together...

I would pull that bearing out though, looks like an inner piece is loose. I would get new one's. I'm also replacing the spindle (needle bearings $7ea) right now on mine....

I would just get new lock nuts for the steering arm...any NAPA should have them..
