Even though I've read a couple posts on this CV halfshaft issue, I don't understand how the left/right (DS/PS) shafts compare. Looking at the Cardone website, they show the DS unit as needing to be sent in for rebuilding -- if that's ever needed.

Here, I'm guessing SilverBullet used a PS unit as repair for the DS.

Are you pulling apart the shafts and piecing old/new together? If so, are you separating at the inner joint to make everything new from the inner joing to the wheel hub?

BTW,,,When you detach the lower hub (4-bolts) does the halfshaft pull right out of a (splined) hub and (splined) differential?
