The driver side axle on my 850 had a long-since-split boot with no grease inside. It had been clicking on left turns for over a year. I bought a new axle (not a refurb) from Advanced Auto. In removing the original CV, I needed a 36mm socket to remove the axle nut. The new axle came with a much smaller, weaker-looking nut. It both has a smaller inside diameter, and it has less meat around the sides. It doesn't seem as though it will hold as securely. Any ideas?
The old nut doesn't fit on the new axle
