I have an 07 explorer xlt and am trying to replace the front left cv axle. Bought one from aftermarket retailer yesterday and everythinh is the same as oem part except diameter of cv joints are larger, and diameter of threaded end of shaft and axle nut are smaller. Guy at store tells me my 2007 is has an 08 shaft, and he can't get it! But all the websites show the same part number for 07 and 08.
Part number on oem shaft - 6L24-3A428-AB
Splines at both ends are the same. Can i just use it? Oddly, i bought the hub assembly from same store, so they should work together right? But the axle nut seems too small since it has no washer and it goes into the bearing race on the hub. This is getting frustrating!
