until it makes contact with the pinion shaft.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the boots.
HINT:
wBefore installing the drive shaft, set the snap ring opening
side facing downward.
wWhether or not the drive shaft is making contact with the
pinion shaft can be known by the sound or feeling when driv-
ing it in.
