If it fights pull it off and check the c clip. They might go on better with the open side up or down for a gravity assist. I missed the memo of that's the case.

Tips; I used a u-bolt clamp on the axle for something to lever against and to hammer the new joint back on used a large vice grip so I could hold the axle against the subframe so I wasn't pushing against the inner joint.

Awesome thank you. I will pass this information on to my Indy. This is one job I won’t have time for.

Cardone are not bad axles. I've used several on front wheel drive cars. So far, none of those cars have come back for repairs. I wouldn't hesitate to use them unless they failed inspection before installation.

I like the feedback on the axles as full axles are brutal expensive vs. joint
