Hi everyone. Here is a conundrum I am facing. I recently serviced my front axel (ie: replaced axel shafts new bearings and seals.) After driving for the first time I noticed the right side dust cap was missing. After inspecting I could see that the axel had actually pushed out past the drive flange by 3/4". There was no weird noises or vibrations coming from the diff and it did not get hot, the axel shift just slid out and pushed the dust cap off.
I pulled it all apart and can't see any reason as to why it pushes out like that. The c clip in the cv joint was tight. And everything else looked good. The only thing I can come up with is that I over packed the Birfield with molly grease? Or that I have the wrong axel shaft. The left hand side was firm and secure.
Thanks for any ideas you guys have
cheers
