Re: Vomiting New Half-Shaft
Now, I just replace both front axles on my 1998. No problems with mine, but I do have some comments.
The left shaft has a retaining ring on the inside end. When you removed the old one, you should of had to pull on it real hard to release the retaining ring on the old shaft. The directions for the replacement shaft should have told you to install it, then try to pull it out with little force to make sure the retaining ring had seated correctly. If it seat correctly, the shaft would be locked in place. If not seated correctly, the shaft would have slid out with little effort. If the shaft is not seated correctly, the inner joint may be forced to collapse. That might be your problem.
