Put driveshaft on and also put on axle nut,but still doesn't move
The first time I got my inner CV connected, I found a
ball bearing on the ground, I put it back where it
was, supposed to be when I reconnected it. I still
have my old inner CV, would it be worth it to swap out
the old one for the new one? For some reason I think
the ball bearing moved and is not in the correct
location causing the car not to move again
