AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Why do the simple things have to be so complicated? I bought a NEW cv axle and within a few weeks it was worn out at the diff end.
Advance won't order a replacement without the defective part in their hands. Since I refuse to drive around without a CV, and the fact that I should replace the one on the other side as well, I ordered a remanufactured one to replace the new one so I can return it in exchange for another reman axle.
Tonight, I tried to install the first reman axle. I get it torn down to fid out it is the wrong spline count. 28 instead of 27. (V6 trucks have 28 splines)
I repeat: AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
The store is 20 miles away, so I call and ask them to order one so I can swap out on my way home from work. Two people took turns explaining store policy, but I didn't budge intil the manager agreed to order one. I think it was the realization that if I had to come all the way across town after taking their crap, I was going to be pissed off and STILL get what I wanted. They ordered the correct part, it was just packaged wrong.
What a frigging ordeal to replace a defective axle! It's so stupid. If there IS a He11, life is just a primer coat.
Ahhh. I feel better, now.
