I did a quick search and didn't find an answer, so if it's out there and I missed it my bad.
I've been chasing down death wobble on my 2020 JLUR, and the search took me to my ball joints. Anyway, while changing the ball joints I pulled axle shaft and everything I read said there should have been a ring, washer, or something that should have came out with it. We'll there wasn't anything, and looking down the the axle I didn't see anything. So I took a telescoping magnet and flashlight and started searching, but found nothing. So my question here is should something have came out? If so where did it go? Second question is on the passenger side axle there appears to be a floating gear inside, when reinstalling the axle shaft is there a specific process I need to follow with that?
Next question, when tightening the new upper ball joints the sleeve that is on it doesn't sit flush against the knuckle on either side. Now it may have not originally, but I honest ly do not remember.
Any help, and insight is greatly appreciated.
