axle wont center in spindle
So I rebuilt the front axle, had to put new knuckles on it, new wheel bearings, drivers side went back together fine, passenger side knuckle went together, installing spindle and every time I seat it in the knuckle the axle cocks downward in the spindle, have taken it off several times and inspected and can't find any reason why it'd be doin this, any feedback would be great

Does the axle sit normal before you put on the spindle?
Almost sounds like the birf isn't seated all the way together at the joint or not fully in the knuckle thus when you put the spindle on it is binding.
