Hey fellas I need some help! I tried to tie the axle up when removing the knuckle during dis-assembly.. but I was too careless (and alone) when trying to re-assemble everything and I'm fairly certain I popped it.
I monkey'd with it a bit trying to get a feel for "its out" and "its in" but I'm really not sure. Everything connected back together losely and in place, here is a quick 1minute video of the movement of the drive shaft:
(bit loud sorry)
Hopefully someone can tell just by looking! As I see it I have two options:
1. I can take the boot off and see for myself right? What tool do you need to take that clip off without damaging it, just needlenose pliers? Do I *have* to re-grease if I take the boot off just briefly?
2. While it's jacked up, with no wheels on, I could put the car in first, start it, and just tap the throttle and see what happens? lol scary.
Thanks for any help!!!
P.S. New LCA bushings and a new ball joint went on.
P.P.S. When I say I was monkey'ing with it, basically just moving it around, turning it, pressing on it, etc. is what I've googled about CV joints popping / referencing suggestions from these two threads:
