kay. all back to normal. removed outback struts, pushed cv shafts back into the dif reinstalled original legacy struts. thanks again for all the replies and the help! if i wanted to, in the future install the cir clips would i drop the transmission pan and get at it from there?

great good to know! 7am where im at and worked all night. gonna have a look in the afternoon. hope it works out.

ya gonna have one more shot at it, and if not then ill have to get another ride. thanks for the help..

kay thanks. more then likely gonna junk the car, its way to rotten to continue with it. gonna grab a 92 turbo sedan to replace the old rusty wagon......

the stub does move slightly in and out with the joint. but not really up and down.

all this happend with in 2 miles of installing the longer outback struts. may that be the problem?

4eat transmission 1990 legacy.... went to cornor store. parked, reversed out, put in drive clunk, no drive. put in park and then drive again and went about 20 feet, clunk lost drive. flicked my duty c selinod switch to lock the clucth pack up and drove home.... now got the front wheel jacked up and in park tire spins freely, cv shafts spins, but on the shaft where the roll pin locks the shaft to the dif splins it appears that it is a least an inch away from the case and seal? took some pictures of it. still tryting to figure out how to post pics....

is it possible to break both front cv joints in on shot? or would the pinion have broken in the dif?
