Did you see this picture from RealOEM and confirmed if you have axle "A" or axle "B"? A I think was for early builds.

Ricky Bobby it is A for sure you can't make it out in the pics of the shaft but as I move the small end of the bellow inwards towards wheel there is that ridge on shaft and this tallies with the realoem and the gkn and febi part numbers....may have just been a dud clamp or the mechanic just didn't clamp it enough
