Thanks for the pics!! my brother stoped by and used a tire tool to push the flange back into the carrier. We also noticed the the cv replacement was missing a bolt. We took it for a spin and the flange moved out of the carrier again. I'm going to call and see if the dealership will make it good. You never know unless you ask right!!Remember I only drove it 10 or so miles after fixed they fixed the cv joint.

I am some what lost here so....

Is it item number 1 that you had to move back into the carrier ? If you did I would say that the "c-clip" is not holding the "inner axle" in the housing/carrier

Just trying to understand what is wrong here and maybe be get you some more help as to what you need to do.

you are right!! My brother said the same thing(the c-clip not holding). It was not like that before the dealership changed out my cv joint. How sould I go about explaining this to them?? I sure hope they see it the same way that I do.

why would this have fallen off or been removed during a half shft replacement?

maybe i have been doing mine wrong, but all i had to do was remove the compression bolt for the half shaft on the Hub and then remove the 6 or so bolts from the flange. pull old HS off and reverse to put the new one on.......

little tricky with tires on, but is possible... i think i removed the shock to help out.. still easy.. think i had it swapped out within 45 mins

Agree, I am wondering if this was a problem before half shaft work was done and not noticed maybe

I'm sure the dealership would have seen the axle sticking out of the carrier. I'll try and post a pic.
