can I get some input
Im having a problem with my drivers side cv shaft this is the 3rd one I have got
the first replacement one broke very easly, I barly put it in 4 wheel drive hit the gas and crack
the second one looked different from the first one they gave me and it held up to some pretty good beating
the 3rd one looked just like the first one, and after I put it on i was checking it out and noticed that
it is about to pull apart just sitting there on flat ground, I can feel the vc joint hanging out of the cup on the top, (threw the rubber boot)
here is a pictire you can kinda see it threw the boot, so I got to looking around on the net trying to find the lenghths
and they say the compressed length is 23 and 3/8 long, so i got to looking at explorer lengths
and found one they say is 26 inches long... it should work rite?

yes I have the spacers in but they are only about 3/8ths thick and the cv still seems like its a couple inches short
I went down and haggled with them (checkers) and they will give me a new one but it is the exact same
I tryed to get them to compare shafts to try and find a longer one but they wont, so I got my money back

I think the auto parts gave me a explorer cv when I ordered a new one becuase it was long, longer than my extended cv's from ryan. I never installed it because I got ryans extended ones but I know there was no squeezing it in like a regular cv. You would have to pull the whole knuckle off
