Hub tries to engage

Recently had a dana 60 with Detroit placed in the front of my Bronco and the passenger Warn Hub is extremely difficult to turn, and when its locked out it will actually spin halfway between free and lock while driving down the road. Truck seems to pull a bit to the left as well. The axle was in a wreck and that tube does seem to be pushed back a very small amount, would this cause the pulling and hub to be acting up???
Thanks'

Do you have the thrust washer between the spindle and the axle shaft? It fits the small recess and gives some friction resistance betwen the shaft and the inside face of the spindle.
I have conversion hubs with 35 spl shafts and warn premiums on mine and run 2 of those washers as I think the conversion wheel hub may be a few thousands more inboard than the stock stuff and it used to do the same thing ,1/2 lock on the highway and make a nice noise.
