Problem strut replacement - drive shaft pulled out
I had problems with the a Gabriel strut not receiving the control arm after installation. After using a 1" socket to expand the strut connection, I discovered the drive shaft had pull out exposing some shaft beyond the seal. I cannot get the shaft full in even though the right wheel still turns when I tuen the left.
Any suggestions?

Drive shaft pulled out of the trans or pulled out of the hub?

Some joints use rollers with a pair of flat spots on each one, necessitating correct orientation before the roller can slide into its slot in the cup.
