Axle splines look bad. One of mine is zero play not torqued and the other is loose. Maybe it spun once. Should I buy another axle or just put the good one the left side and then make sure both nuts are torqued all the way to spec . The good axle is good in bothe drums so I got two good drums

This is th fouth time this happens, i torque and new spacers whats another reason?

When lowered, is it the toe in or negative camber that encourages the drum to spin ? I am thinking drop plates will let me be low and not spin drums. Thank you.
