RalphM: thanks for your reply: i woke at 4:00am thinking i know what the problem is: sure enough i found that nuts were used on the spindle bolts instead of the stop nuts: there was about a 1/4in difference in the length: i changed them out this morning and now the backing plates hit the stops the way they should: the axle came to me assembled and i did not notice this mistake: sk sorry, the pics loaded sideways:
