Vomiting New Half-Shaft
I replaced the left half-shaft on a 1995 3.0 (3-speed tranny FWD) 3 months ago with a new Cardone (partsamerica online) only to have the inner boot puncture and collapse this week (I crawl under the van and nap during Saturday morning pregame). The inner joint is near flush with the power transfer unit, and the hub nut torqued 140 ft-lb. However, I noticed during install the inner joint felt compressed and the boot crumpled more so than the original. I had read that new shafts may need adjustment, but I received no adjustment material from Cardone. Anyone know an adjustment procedure or what I may have missed during installation?
