Hello and thanks in advance for reading this,

I was replacing the CV boot in the right side. Everything was going fine, removed the lower control arms and stuck the new boot. I hammered the cv joint back in the axle and it seemed fine, but when putting everything back together the length of the axle+joint seemed smaller than it should and then there wasn't enough length to reach the hub. I've done a few cv boots and this never happened to me. Is it possible that I hammered the joint too much and put it too much inside??!!? Please help as I don't know what to do.

Any help is more than appreciated!

 

check to see if the other side of the axle that is hooked up to the center diff is messed up

 

You would've known if you went past the notch. Did you take the axle off the car completely?
