It's alive!!! No shakes, no howling noticed yet, everything seems smooth so far.
I need a frosty adult beverage, and a week long vacation....
Thanks to everyone for your inputs! It was very much appreciated. I needed a sounding board, ya'll didn't let me down. Great group!
Now to return the CV axle, which is in 3 pieces.... I'm thinking I won't be issued a full refund!
