Is the housing back braced? I ask cause if the tubes have been bent from hard use that can make the wheels hard to turn. Maybe those end flanges have the same effect.

No sir. Same housing and axles I was driving the car with the night before. I took everything apart to put the 3:91 sure grip third member in along with the new green bearings I had installed on the axles. I was saying earlier that when I tightened the axles down I noticed I could hardly rotate the axles. As if they were pressed tight against something. Which got me to thinking about the seals.
