you can roll the axle on a flat surface to see if it is bent or not. If it is touching the inside of the hollow bolt you should see marks on one or both parts. Binding can also be caused by the dustcap being in the wrong place, cheap balls, wrong number of balls or balls not positioned correctly. If you have had to put shims between the freehub body and the hubshell these need to be *perfect* if the freehub body is to run true.

Re: Shimano Freehub replacement dilemma
Yes, I was wondering if I should reposition the freehub 180 degress on the driving splines or rotate the spacer to see if that makes any difference. The balls are the same that came out, along with the cones, but clean. Finish Line white grease. I will check the axle Saturday. Thanks.
