2009 tacoma Axle problem with 6 inch rc lift

2009 tacoma trd off road 4x4

Hi first post, searched and couldn't find anything. Just started on my 6 inch rough country lift and I'm having a problem with the driver side axle.

I have the upper control arm bolted to the knuckle and slid the axle into the hub. The axle spins freely and works good, but when I pull the knuckle down and bolt it to the lower control arm the problem occurs. The axle won't spin completely. It will spin halfway then clunk spin it the other way and clunk again.
The axle is completely in on both ends I have took the knuckle on and off about 4 times and it happens every time I connect the lower arm. It almost seems as if it's kinked on the inner part of axle or there's something in the differential that won't let it spin completely.. any help is appreciated thanks.

 

I will upload some tomorrow around 5pm. Just got home from shop.

 

Are u using aftermarket CV? Aftermarket CV from auto parts store don't flex the same as stock. They require some grinding inside to Allow it to flex a little more. The 6 inch rough country lift really stresses out a lot

 

Nope the truck is completely oem except for lift parts.

 

The axle is always spinning. Is the truck in neutral? I am not sure if that will make a difference.

 

I read it spins freely till u pull it down so it does spin

 

It must not be seating all the way in and it's causing it to bind.

 

Tried spinning it in park and in neutral as well still won't turn all the way.

 

Maybe u need to try to spin the cv baxk and forth and try to wiggle it in deeper. That's what she said

 

Here is video https://youtu.be/o0Sjg_u7LQE

 

It doenst look like you pushed the cv past the retainer clip into the diff

 

Where the axle meets the difference it's completely in, and where the axle meets the hub it's in and fluSh but I didn't tighten the axle nut cause I didn't want to finish it like that... almost looks like it's binding on the inner part of axle.. my friend said put a wheel on and lower onto wheel to even the axle from being kinked but last thing I need is to do that and snap the axle or bearings inside...

 

Actually ur friend is right it's is binding on the cup currently and when u lower it, it will be fine

 

Planesane I thought about that but then I thought to my self what if I'm off roading and the driver tire lifts off the ground? Will it bind again and snap off or? Don't want to run the risk and I don't see anyone else have this issue

 

Your running the same lift I am. I am pretty sure mine did the same

 

What cvs? Jack up the lower control arms and see if it still happens. I had to mod my axles to prevent this. But this is much worse than mine was

 

It's not like u changed much. And it looks all the way inserted. There is just not much more to it

 

There we go maybe he can help

 

He has stock cvs
