Hi people,
I posted on 14th apr about my drive shaft...
Drive shaft had popped out of transmission
Today, I dropped wishbone on jack, took out the 3 bearings, cleaned them up regreased them and popped drive shaft back in, tightened everything up and its fine now.
The previous owner had simply zip tied the boot back on, it came off, grit got in and clogged the bearings stopping them spinning, went round corner and bang it popped out.
Any who, my question is, what holds the drive shaft in? The length of give from the strut I don't think will give enough to enable it to come all the way out. But paranoid now about it coming back out, I can't see anywhere a retaking clip or o ring would go, so is there supposed to be one on the end of the shaft or does it just stay in ?
Hope that makes sense, I would of took photos but forgot phone!
Thanks
