looking to see if anyone faced this problem and what they did to solve it. I replaced my leafs with 5.5 leafs and when I dropped the axle back onto them I noticed that the hole size of the axle pad is larger than the bolt / center pin in the leaf springs and allows the axle to slip around a little bit before its bolted down. the axle is out of a granda or some other car (came with axle installed). I tried to line it up but I have noticed the car does not drive straight and I am pretty sure its because the axle has moved.

what have you see or done that I could do to remove this little bit of extra slop and keep the axle straight?
