Hi
Just changed the driver side rear axle cv shaft bearing and seal.
Since there is no exact bearing longtitude location at driver side diff case defined anyhow if no original ford tool used,ive installed (by mistake) the stub bearing about a 5mm deeper than the original one ( relatively to the passenger side stub bearing location,they are supposed to be the same )
According to the shaft wear sights ,ive missed about 2mm of the shaft bearing surface (total roller lenght /bearing width is 10mm).
Should i leave it or it is critical non drive condition?
After assembly,no any vibrations or noises detected.no leaks at the shaft seal.
Any advise will be appreciated.
