Ok so i thought those Cardone cv shfts were really good at first, I was wrong. After changing the right side on aarons car it leaked tranny fluid the next day so i figured it was the seal. Well after about a week and a half of prying and pulling we finally ended p welding something to the inner cup and using a slide hammer. Anyway i knew it shouldn't be that hard after only being on for about a mile. After we got it out i noticed the new shaft had about 2mm of spline more than the old one. My question is will this be a problem? I e-maileed the company but the are idiots so i doubt that will help.
thanks

I would say no. But i could be wrong. I do believe it would not be a issue tho being 2mm longer like you say

Only thing i could see is it not seating properly in the axle housing. But i wouldn't think 2mm would make that big of a difference in this case.

well the only problem would be trying to get it back out... it's "about" 2 mm it could be more or less.... but anyone know for sure what would be do much?

I am thinking the problem was the shitty retainer ring. It was pretty scratched up from something and I would guess it was overstretched or caught up on something and just wedged it in.

well if thats the case... do you see a problem with me driving the car with a 2mm oversized spline shafty thingy...... its not like the ring could get cought on something while it was being driven right?

It's fine. Put your car back together and shut your mouth.
