Good evening all!
After 9 hours' effort I have to take a break and ask for help. I am in the midst of replacing the ball joints on my 2019 Power Wagon AND... I have hit a snag. I got the OEM ball joints out and the new Carli ball joints in (with considerable effort ) and got ready to reinstall the axle. Lo and behold it won't go in. Looking down the axle tube I see the seal and behind the seal is a splined "something". I'm sure it engages with the axle splines but here's the thing... it is off center. In fact, I took a piece of tubing and reached down to it and it just flops around. Is something broken in my front diff? There doesn't seem to be a way to center it so I can re-install the axle. Thank you in advance for any and all advice!
