not sure if its a wrong shaft or something terribly wrong in the front diff. this is on a '02 gmc guy who owns it said he had the car lot put in a new pass side front shaft for him, not sure how he knew to look but the end that plugs into the diff has a real sloppy fit, wont push in any further. im thinking its either a wrong shaft or the bearing inside the diff for that side is gone. it also had a "maufacture specific pwertrain" trouble code stored. not sure if thats related, probly not. didnt write the number down before i cleared it, im sure it will pop up again. any thoughts on the sloppy fit? maybe they got a shaft assy for a S-blazer instead of this chassis setup.
cv shaft sloppy fit in diff.

If it installed deep enough to engage the circlip, then it's a common failure of the bearing in the splined disconnect assembly. A few threads here but more on our sister offroad site offroadtb.com. Splined disconnect is the magic search phrase.

I'm not sure how anybody else's shaft would possibly fit for length and spline count.
