The real problem is that it has been apart before by a PO, and I believe it wasn't assembled correctly at that time. The documents that I could find rely on everything being marked as they are dis-assembled. The steering shaft came from another vendor when he was clearing out his inventory, and the cv joint binds a little, so it possibly is not clocked the same as it came apart?
Thanks, Eric
Cleaning your CV joint and greasing with Valvoline™ Full Synthetic Grease might fix that binding issue. I had the same problem and was advised to clean and pack with Synthetic Grease. That fixed the problem. I now have a zerk fitting in the flange that contains the CV joint. I will keep it greased as those joints are hard to get these days.
