CV Axle Rebuild Help

Sorry for the slow reply today. I'd use the fact that I was rebuilding my shocks as an excuse, but the real reason I didn't reply is that for some reason I never got an alert about being tagged in this thread. I just happened upon it as I was perusing new threads from today. Super weird.

As far as reassembling with the same alignment as you took it apart - it is best to do it that way because it's worn that way over time. However, there is often a fine line between "best" and "works fine." I've never known anyone who had any problems when they didn't get it realigned the same way (though, you have a 33% chance of getting it aligned correctly when you blindly put it back together, hahaha). So, I'd say that if you can remember to mark it when you take it apart, great. If not, don't sweat it.

Hope that helps!

 

Hahahah well I’ll take those chances! I got it all cleaned up and put together and made match marks on how I put it together this time. Truck is all put back together so if it grenades or something wild I’ll report back lol.

appreciate all the help and everyone taking time from their jobs and lives outside the forum to reply.
