Mmmh. not sure then. fwiw, I did use a hammer to get my sb2043 driver side axle in. I made sure the drive shaft was a straight as possible though when doing so. Then I kinna gently tap on the end of the axle and it finally got in.

After trying a bunch of different ways to hit the axle it was not going in any further so I just decided to try as is, drove around a little bit with no vibrations or noises. I will just have to keep an eye out for leaks. Thanks again!

I was able to see your pic.It looks like it is fully seated. A picture from a different angle would help though. But as I said, compare with the passenger side.

Comparing it to the passenger side it needs to go in more. I don't know what else to do short of a big hammer

Question for you guys. I replaced my Driver side axle and is it fully seated or does it need to go in more? http://webpages.charter.net/never_idle_azn/images/axle.jpg
