i posted pics today in this tread http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/180478-2-days-now-no-luck.html. Im gonna put it back together today and see what happens i guess.

So... i have read just about every thing there is to read on this site. and with no luck finding the same problem i have. I bought new cv axel (complete) from auto zone. (told they are oem just re-built). I have the clip facing up i re-greased them and i have hit it into place with a crowbar...
