Hi,

I had to replace the rubber boots on the ball joints of both front drive shafts. Unfortunately I screwed up one very importand thing: I did not put an allignment mark on the Trunnion.

The Drive Shaft does carry eight alignment marks on its end, one of them is marked with a 0. This one is aligned to a space in between the six balls (oriented in a hexagonal pattern to each other) located in the Ball Joint Housing (wheel side). The trunnion is carrying the three rings of the Tripod Joint (transmission side).

So the big question I do have: Does anybody know how the Trunnion needs to be alligned to the drive shaft ("0" alignment mark) / ball joint? (unfortunately the manual does not show it).
If I do not mount the trunnion in correct position I guess I will ruin the drive shaft, so it´s urgent to solve this...

Thanks in advance!
