When replacing the axle or CV Joint, ensure that the spline is well seated. I thought it was seated. After finishing the job I test drove it. Everything was cool until I floored it, the spline separated and I had to redo the whole job.
I ended up removing everything and started over at the assembly stage. Once the spline was positioned properly, I placed the wooden handle of my sledge hammer on the rubber covered end and struck it several times until it was well seated. I used caution not to damage the rubber cover. Reassembled everything, and it worked great.
