Did you replace the front drive shaft bushing? It may have been wore. The ball goes in the back, there isn't one in the front. Did you replace the rag joints also? I put two in the front of my 1250 and one in the rear. I could have went with two at each end. It only came with one at each end from the factory and had way too much expansion and wear due to that, and my front bushing was completely shot. Had to replace it. Did you check your drive shaft for straightness while you had the motor out? I am just throwing out some questions not knowing what all you had done to it. I am sure some of the other guys will have some better ideas... We'll get it figured out.
