Got my front shaft sitting at the drive-shaft shop right now. One of the caps on the rear-most joint in the CV is busted-up pretty bad. About half of it missing along with all the needle bearings gone. Just gonna have them press all new GREASE-ABLE joints and be done with it.

Hope you don't find what I did. The u-joint cup was broke. When I got it apart, this is what I found.
