I am replacing both CV joints and have installed the drivers side in about 10 minutes. The passanger side seems to be petruding out to far from the trans axel. I have taken the cv joint back twice thinking I was given the wrong part. What could be the problem.

Any help would be a bonus.

Thanks

Align the inboard CV joint housing splines with the differential side gear splines and push the CV joint housing assembly inward until the circlip seats in the differential side gear. Make sure the circlip is installed correctly and not damaged. If necessary use a non-metallic mallet to aid in seating the circlip in the differential side gear groove. Tap ONLY on the outboard front wheel axle shaft joint.
