Another question. On my 1988 I just was under there to check the cv's out and found that the passenger side cv when I push it out towards the wheel drum is hits the drum but on the drive side that does not happen. Cv's have about 3000 lies on them. Is that motion on the pass side standard? And to be expected? Are they both the same length?
