This does not seem ok even though the guy at kw says it is. I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about. There is no stop or c-clip to prevent the cup from spinning right out to the inside of the knuckle. All u-joints I’ve ever done are a super tight fit that needs a press to install. Any thoughts on this? I tried attaching a short video to show that I can assemble this axle by hand but it says file error. I hope my explanation of this problem is sufficient enough.
