pass. cv axle.

Post by dz09x »

okay, when reinstalling the cv on the passenger side, i noticed that the axle doesnt go all the way in. there is about a quarter inch gap between the axle and the tranny. my questiong is, is it supposed to be like this? i reinstalled it a few time and it always stops in the same spot. i tried pushing it in with my feet against the hub and giving it a few hard pushes. also tried to hammer it in from the end of the axle. stays the same and has that gap. does the passenger side axle just slide in? all the way where the tranny and inner joint meet?

thanks for any replies. :offtopic:
