Re: Closed knuckle to open knuckle Dana 44 questions

I guess it would depend upon how much "interference" there is, and how much would need to be removed?
Personally, I would rather see the bushing turned (enlarged) if there is enough material there to do it. Modifying something like the axle makes it harder to get a replacement if you would happen to break one. You are more likely to need a new axle someday than the bushing.
I am always careful about which part gets modified when multiple parts need to fit together.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
