Installing new bearings, seals, and axel shafts in Dana 35 rear end. After putting C clips on new axels, center pin is hitting end of left side axel. Anyone have or seen this problem before?
 
with c-clips in, are the axle shafts pulled outwards as much as possible to make room for your center pin? May have an unlucky machining flaw on that one shaft.
 
Have you made sure you have only 1 washer under each side gear?
If you've removed the spiders that washer will sometimes stay in the carrier, though they usually stick to the gear.
 
If you still have the old shafts.........
